Juan bought a pickup truck for $16,000. He paid $1,000 down and borrowed the rest on a one year note at 16% interest. How much will he owe at the end of one year?

Hello @lolhelpmepls,

How are you doing? Lets get straight to the point :)

(Assuming simple interest (no compounding) and no payments during the year, he will owe $17,400 at the end of the one year period.) In order to get this answer you need to:

1. Grab the Principle =
$15,000
2. Format the equation =

$2,400 * ($15,000 * .16)
________________________________________________
3. Get your Total Of =

$17,400

I hope that I helped, if you need anything contact me! :)

Thank you,
Darian D.
