Answer: The total amount that Kate will pay her friend after one year is $412.

Explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we first we have to multiply the value of the money borrowed ($400) by the 3 percent, expressed in decimals.

So:

400 x 0.03= 12

We obtained the simple interest of one year. The next step is adding that result to the money borrowed.

400+ 12 = 412

The total amount that Kate will pay her friend after one year is $412.

Feel free to ask for more if it´s necessary or if you did not understand something.
