Question

Montrey recently paid off his simple interest loan. If he borrowed $6,500 for 5 years at 7%, what was the total amount he had to pay back?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$8,775

Explanation:

The amount due is given by the formula ...

A = P(1 +rt)

where P is the principal amount, r is the annual rate, and t is the number of years.

A = $6,500(1 +0.07×5) = $6,500(1.35) = $8,775

Montrey had to pay back $8,775.
