rate of 5% per year. how much will
it be worth in 6 years

Answer 1

Discussing interest starts with the principal, or amount your account starts with. This could be a starting investment, or the starting amount of a loan. Interest, in its most simple form, is calculated as a percent of the principal. For example, if you borrowed $100 from a friend and agree to repay it with 5% interest, then the amount of interest you would pay would just be 5% of 100: $100(0.05) = $5. The total amount you would repay would be $105, the original principal plus the interest.

SIMPLE ONE-TIME INTEREST

I=POrA=P0+I=P0+P0r=P(1+r)

I is the interest

A is the end amount: principal plus interest

P

0

is the principal (starting amount)

r is the interest rate (in decimal form. Example: 5% = 0.05)
