Respuesta :

Remember that the formula for simple interest is:

[tex]I=Prt[/tex]

Where:

• I = Interest

,

• P = Initial value

,

• r = Interest rate

,

• t = time (years)

Let's use this and the data from the problems to calculate what's asked:

Problem #1

a)

[tex]\begin{gathered} I=(2500)(\frac{1.2}{100})(30) \\ I=900 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The costumer would earn $900 in interest.

b)

[tex]2500+900=3400[/tex]

The account balance be after 30 ​years would be $3400

Problem #2

After 4 years, the value of the account would be

[tex]\begin{gathered} 500+(500)(\frac{3.2}{100})(4) \\ \rightarrow564 \end{gathered}[/tex]

For the number line, put 4 in years and 64 in interest

Problem #3

Let's calculate the interest earned in 1 year for each one (M is Monica and P is Paul):

[tex]\begin{gathered} M=400(\frac{3.6}{100})(1)\rightarrow M=14.4 \\ P=500(\frac{3.1}{100})(1)\rightarrow P=15.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Monica is wrong.
