Question

How do I deposited $9500 to a savings account three years ago? The simple interest rate is 3% how much money did Edward earn an interest

Answer 1

first, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 3%/100 = 0.03 per year.
Solving our equation:
A = 6000(1 + (0.03 × 4)) = 6720
A = $6,720.00
The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $6,000.00 at a rate of 3% per year for 4 years is $6,720.00.
