1 answer

To find the total amount Jessica will have to pay back at the end of the loan, we need to calculate the interest first.

First, let's convert 2 1/2 years to a decimal: 2 + 1/2 = 2.5 years.

Next, we'll calculate the interest: Interest = Principal * Rate * Time

Interest = $9,000 * 7.5% * 2.5 = $1,687.50

Finally, we'll add the interest to the principal to find the total amount she will have to pay back: Total = Principal + Interest = $9,000 + $1,687.50 = $10,687.50

Therefore, Jessica will have to pay back $10,687.50 at the end of the loan.
