To calculate the total amount of interest, we can use the formula for simple interest:
Interest = Principal * Rate * Time
In this case:
Principal = $17,000.00
Rate = 5% (or 0.05 as a decimal)
Time = 3 years
Plugging in these values, we get:
Interest = $17,000.00 * 0.05 * 3 = $2,550.00
Therefore, the total amount of interest that the shoe store will pay is $2,550.00.

Interest = $17,000.00 * 0.05 * 3 = $2,550.00
Therefore, the total amount of interest that the shoe store will pay is $2,550.00.

To calculate the total amount to be paid, including both the principal and the interest, we need to add the principal amount (loan amount) to the total interest.
In this case:
Principal = $17,000.00
Interest = $2,550.00 (as calculated in the previous question)
Total Amount = Principal + Interest
Total Amount = $17,000.00 + $2,550.00 = $19,550.00
Therefore, the total amount, including interest, that the shoe store must pay on the loan is $19,550.00.
In this case:
Principal = $17,000.00
Interest = $2,550.00 (as calculated in the previous question)
Total Amount = Principal + Interest
Total Amount = $17,000.00 + $2,550.00 = $19,550.00
Therefore, the total amount, including interest, that the shoe store must pay on the loan is $19,550.00.

One way to use estimation to determine if the answer is reasonable is by rounding the values involved. For example, in this case, we can round the loan amount to the nearest thousand and the interest to the nearest hundred.
If we round the loan amount to $20,000 and the interest to $2,500, we can quickly estimate that the total amount to be paid should be around $22,500.
Comparing this estimate with the calculated answer of $19,550, we can see that there is a significant difference between the two values. This suggests that our calculated answer might be too low.
Therefore, by using estimation, we can determine that the calculated answer of $19,550 might not be reasonable and that we should reevaluate our calculations to identify any potential errors.

Estimation can be used to determine if the answer is reasonable by rounding the values involved and quickly estimating the total amount. If the estimated value is significantly different from the calculated answer, it suggests that the calculated answer might be incorrect and needs to be reevaluated.
