To find the profit, we can use the formula for simple interest:
Profit = Principal * Rate * Time
Given that the principal (P) is $5,000, the rate (R) is 8% or 0.08 expressed as a decimal, and the time (T) is 3 years, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Profit = 5,000 * 0.08 * 3
Profit = $1,200
Therefore, the profit at the end of the 3rd year is $1,200.
To find the total amount, we need to add the principal and the profit together:
Total Amount = Principal + Profit
Total Amount = 5,000 + 1,200
Total Amount = $6,200
Therefore, the total amount at the end of the 3rd year is $6,200.
