Question
Joshhas$40,000 in a savings account. The interest rate is 14 43/100% per year and is not compounded. How much will he have in total in 3 years?
Use the formula i = prt, where i is the interest earned, p is the principal (starting amount), r is the interest rate expressed as a decimal, and t is the time in years.
Use the formula i = prt, where i is the interest earned, p is the principal (starting amount), r is the interest rate expressed as a decimal, and t is the time in years.

To calculate the total amount Josh will have in his savings account after 3 years with simple interest, we can use the formula:
\[
i = prt
\]
Where:
- \( p \) = Principal (starting amount) = $40,000
- \( r \) = Interest rate (as a decimal) = 14.43/100 = 0.1443
- \( t \) = Time in years = 3
Now, let's calculate the interest earned (\( i \)):
\[
i = 40,000 \times 0.1443 \times 3
\]
Calculating this step-by-step:
1. Calculate \( 40,000 \times 0.1443 \):
\[
40,000 \times 0.1443 = 5,772
\]
2. Now, multiply that result by 3:
\[
5,772 \times 3 = 17,316
\]
So, the interest earned over 3 years is \( i = 17,316 \).
To find the total amount in the account after 3 years, we add the interest earned to the principal:
\[
\text{Total amount} = p + i = 40,000 + 17,316 = 57,316
\]
Therefore, in 3 years, Josh will have a total of **$57,316** in his savings account.
\[
i = prt
\]
Where:
- \( p \) = Principal (starting amount) = $40,000
- \( r \) = Interest rate (as a decimal) = 14.43/100 = 0.1443
- \( t \) = Time in years = 3
Now, let's calculate the interest earned (\( i \)):
\[
i = 40,000 \times 0.1443 \times 3
\]
Calculating this step-by-step:
1. Calculate \( 40,000 \times 0.1443 \):
\[
40,000 \times 0.1443 = 5,772
\]
2. Now, multiply that result by 3:
\[
5,772 \times 3 = 17,316
\]
So, the interest earned over 3 years is \( i = 17,316 \).
To find the total amount in the account after 3 years, we add the interest earned to the principal:
\[
\text{Total amount} = p + i = 40,000 + 17,316 = 57,316
\]
Therefore, in 3 years, Josh will have a total of **$57,316** in his savings account.

I apologize for the misunderstanding regarding the interest rate. Let's recalculate using the correct interest rate of 14%.
The formula remains:
\[
i = prt
\]
Where:
- \( p \) = Principal (starting amount) = $40,000
- \( r \) = Interest rate (as a decimal) = 14/100 = 0.14
- \( t \) = Time in years = 3
Now, let's calculate the interest earned (\( i \)):
\[
i = 40,000 \times 0.14 \times 3
\]
Calculating this step-by-step:
1. Calculate \( 40,000 \times 0.14 \):
\[
40,000 \times 0.14 = 5,600
\]
2. Now, multiply that result by 3:
\[
5,600 \times 3 = 16,800
\]
So, the interest earned over 3 years is \( i = 16,800 \).
To find the total amount in the account after 3 years, we add the interest earned to the principal:
\[
\text{Total amount} = p + i = 40,000 + 16,800 = 56,800
\]
Therefore, in 3 years, Josh will have a total of **$56,800** in his savings account. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate the clarification!

I apologize for the confusion, and I appreciate your clarification. Let's correctly interpret the interest rate, which is **14 43/100%**.
This means the interest rate is \( 14 + \frac{43}{100} = 14.43\%\). Let's convert this to a decimal:
\[
r = 14.43\% = \frac{14.43}{100} = 0.1443
\]
Now, we'll use the formula for simple interest again:
\[
i = prt
\]
Where:
- \( p = 40,000 \) (the principal)
- \( r = 0.1443 \) (the interest rate as a decimal)
- \( t = 3 \) (the time in years)
Calculating the interest earned:
\[
i = 40,000 \times 0.1443 \times 3
\]
1. Calculate \( 40,000 \times 0.1443 \):
\[
40,000 \times 0.1443 = 5,772
\]
2. Now multiply by 3:
\[
5,772 \times 3 = 17,316
\]
So, the interest earned over 3 years is \( i = 17,316 \).
To find the total amount in the account after 3 years, we add the interest earned to the principal:
\[
\text{Total amount} = p + i = 40,000 + 17,316 = 57,316
\]
Therefore, after 3 years, Josh will have a total of **$57,316** in his savings account. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your understanding!
