Question

An account earns simple interest $600 at 5% for 2 years find the interest earned

Answer 1

so your answer would be 60$

Explanation:

I = P * r * t

Here, P = $600

r = 0.05 (decimal value for 5%)

t = 2 years

Part a)

The interest earned will be:

I = P * r * t

I = 600 * 0.05 * 2

I = $60

Part b)

The balance in the account will be $600 plus the interest earned or:

$600 + 60 = $660
