Answer:

$100

Explanation:

We want to calculate the interest on $2000 at 5% interest rate which Janet will pay each year.

The formula we will use the following simple interest formula for this:


I=P * r * t

where
P is the principal amount,
r is the interest rate and
t is the time in years.

Interest =
2000 * 0.05 * 1 = $100

Therefore, Janet needs to pay an interest of $100 each year for 3 years.
