    Hi.

    Let´s try this:

    300 * 0,12 * x = 7,94 ; (amount * %interest * period = $ interest)

    36x = 7,94

    x = 0,2205 (the period of the loan is 22,05% of a year)

    360 * 0,2205 = 79,38

    So the loan lasted 79,38 days.

    Check:

    300*0,12 * (794/3600) = 7,94

    Hope this helped!
