Three years ago, Claire borrowed money from her father to pay for a class trip. She agreed to pay 6% simple annual interest on the loan. Now she owes him $90 in interest, plus the principal amount. How much did Claire borrow?

Answer:

73.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Every year is an extra 6% interest, after 3 years this accumulates to 18%. 18% of 90 is 16.2 and 90 - 16.2 is 73.8

If this helps, you could help me by giving a thanks.
