Answer:

Simple interest formula

  • I = Prt, I- amount of interest, P- principal, r- interest rate, t - time
  • A = P(1 + rt), A - final amount, the rest as above

#1

18 months = 1.5 years

The difference in the amount of interest:

  • $15950*1.5*(5.5-3)/100 = $598.13

#2

  • $3000*(1 + 4*12/100) = $4440

#3

  • $7050*8*(6 - 5.5)/100 = $282

#4

  • $950*(1 + 12*3.65/100) = $1366.10
