To determine the interest we need to pay, we need to use the following expression:


A=P(1+rt)

Where A is the final amount, P is the principal, r is the interest rate and t is the elapsed time.


\begin{gathered} A=6900(1+(3.6)/(100)\cdot1)_{} \\ A=6900(1+0.036)_{} \\ A=6900(1.036) \\ A=7148.4 \end{gathered}

The due amount is 7148.4
