Answer: $700 interest

Note that the formula for simple interest is I=Prt

1. Identify the Principal amount (P), rate (r), and time (t)

Principal amount=$2,000

Rate: 7% (0.07)

Time: 5 years

2. Plug the numbers into the formula; always make sure that the rate is in decimal form and the time is in years.

2,000*0.07*5=700

3. Final answer: $700
