The initial amount borrowed is: $900

The annual interest rate is: 7%

The time period in years is: 6

With this information we can culculate that if the annual interest rate is 7%, the interest in 1 year will be given by calculating the 7% out of $900.

For this, we divide 900 by 100 and multiply by 7:


(900)/(100)*7=9*7=63

The interest per year is: $63

Since it is for 6 years, now we multiply the yearly interest by the number of years:


63*6=378

After 6 years, you will pay $378 of interest.

To find how much you will pay altogether, we add this to the initial amount:


900+378=1278

Answer: $1,278
