You want to calculate the interest on $2000 at 12% interest per year after 3 year(s).
The formula we'll use for this is the simple interest formula, or:
Where:
P is the principal amount, $2000.00.
r is the interest rate, 12% per year, or in decimal form, 12/100=0.12.
t is the time involved, 3....year(s) time periods.
So, t is 3....year time periods.
To find the simple interest, we multiply 2000 × 0.12 × 3 to get that:
The interest is: $720.00
