A = $5,800.00

I = A - P = $1,800.00

hey!

Equation:

A = P(1 + rt)

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 15%/100 = 0.15 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 4000(1 + (0.15 × 3)) = 5800

A = $5,800.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $4,000.00 at a rate of 15% per year for 3 years is $5,800.00.
