METHODS OF CALCULATING INTEREST
1.A woman borrowed $2,000 and agreed to repay it at the end of 3 years together with 10% simple interest per year. How much will she pay 3 years hence?
Principal (P) = $2,000
Rate of interest (r) = 0.10
Number of years (t) = 3
Simple interest = P × r × t
= 2,000 × 0.10 × 3
= $600
At the end of 3 years, the woman should pay the aggregate of principal and interest.
Payment = Principal + Simple interest
= 2,000 + 600
= $2,600 (Answer)
