Answer 2

Find out the Calculate the total amount he will pay.

To prove

As given

Walter took out a $6,000 loan for six years.

He is being charged 6 percent interest, compounded annually.

Formula

`Total\ amount = P (1 + i)^(t)`

Where P is the principle, i is the interest in the decimal form, t is the time.

Here P = $6,000

t = 6 years

6% is written in the decimal form.

`= (6)/(100)`

= 0.06

Put in the formula

`Total\ amount = 6000(1 + 0.06)^(6)`

`Total\ amount = 6000(1.06)^(6)`

Total amount = $8511.12

Therefore the total amount be $8511.12 .

Option (C) is correct.
