Answer:

He will have to pay $192 in simple interest.

Explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E is the interest, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

In this problem, we have that:

P = 600, r = 0.08, t = 4

So

E = P*I*t = 600*0.08*4 = 192

He will have to pay $192 in simple interest.
