The percent-day method 2010-12-04
From Kenneth:
I read about this method in an old business mathematics book and was curious about how it works to produce the correct answer.

“Percent-day method is based on 360 days’ time and 1% interest. Any interest rate multiplied by any number of days is equal to so many %-days.”
Example: 82 days at 5% equals 410%-days.
