Look out for these things:

Type of interest: Simple or compound?
Frequency of compounding: Yearly? Half-yearly? Quarterly? Monthly? etc.
Number of years, which we must change to the number of compounding periods
Interest rate per annum, which we must express as interest rate per compounding period.
