Hi Lilly,
This appears to be a compound interest formula

A = 100(1+0.15/12) 12x3/4

In words this is
I invest $100 in a bank account where the interest rate is 15% compounded monthly. How much money will be in the account in 9 months time?

In order not to make a calculator error it may be best to do this in bits.

A = 100(1.0125) 9
A = 100*1.118292177
A = $111.83 (to the nearest cent)

Dividing this by 0.15/12 does not make sense. Why do you want to do that?
