This study investigates the use of the XactMath application as a digital learning tool to support students in mastering the topics of Simple Interest and Promissory Notes in Business Mathematics. The application guides students through three steps: identifying keywords, matching them to formulas and selecting the appropriate formula for problem-solving. A descriptive analysis was conducted to measure student acceptance and interest in the app after usage. Findings from a sample of 50 students, consisting of 36 females (72%) and 14 males (28%) revealed a high level of acceptance (M = 4.46, SD = 0.54) and strong interest (M = 4.44, SD = 0.52) in using the app for learning. Students agreed that the app improved their understanding, memorization and application of concepts, even without lecturer guidance. These results suggest that XactMath is a promising instrument for improving mathematical learning engagement and self-directed learning in business-related topics.
