Answer:

A) $1,050

B) $6,050

Explanation:

We solve using the Simple Interest formula

Simple Interest (I) = Principal × Rate × Time

From that above question, we have the parameters

Principal = $5000

Rate = 3.5 % = 0.035

Time = 6 years

A) How much will he have to pay for the interest?

Hence,

Interest = $5,000 × 0.035 × 6

= $1,050

Therefore, the amount of interest he will have to pay is $1,050

B) How much will he have to pay total?

The amount he will have to pay in contact =

Principal + Interest paid on loan

= $5,000 + $1,050

= $6,050
