i = Prt
what don't you understand?
i don't know the answers i need the answers i do online school i think i did better in in person school i need to know the answers
But, to get you started,
1) Cathy borrows $3280 at 0.3% simple interest per month. When Cathy pays the loan back 9 years later, what is the total amount that Cathy ends up repaying?
P = 3280
r = 0.003 (that is the interest rate per period -- in this case, one month)
t = 9*12 = 108 (the number of months)
i = 3280 * 0.003 * 108 = 1062.72
Now add the interest to the principal, and she has to pay back
3280 + 1062.72 = 5342,72
Note that the total amount owed or earned is
A = P(1 + rt)
Now try the others.
