Answer:

Time taken for loan (T) = 42 mount

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate of interest (r) = 8% = 0.08

Loan amount (P) = $6,071

Interest amount (I) = $1,700

Find:

Time taken for loan (T)

Computation:

I = PRT

1,700 = [6,071][0.08][T]

T = 1700 / 485.68

T = 3.5 year

Time taken for loan (T) = 3.5 × 12

Time taken for loan (T) = 42 mount
