You'll probably have better success posting this in money and finance.

And you're likely to have a friendlier response if you pre-face it with a couple of lines about how you're having problems with a homework question or something like that. Whether it's true or not, just typing a question like this in tends to make people think you're being lazy and taking advantage and haven't tried to get the answer yourself.
