A $4025

B $2415

C $1610

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

I=PRT

I = 23000* .035 * 5

= 4025

You will pay $4025

Part B

I =PRT

= 23000 *.035 * 3

= 2415

You will pay $2415

Part C

Take the amount from Part A and subtract The amount from Part B and that is the amount you will save.

4025-2415=1610
