Answer:

C

Explanation:

You can solve this problem by converting 3.5% into its numerical form, (.035) and multiplying by 6 (the number of months) to get the total amount of interest due (21%) you then convert the total amount of interest into numerical form (.21) and multiply with the total loan to get 1134.00
