Simple interest is a method of calculating interest on an amount for n period of time with a rate of interest of r. The number of years for which James took the loan is 5.

<h3>What is simple interest?</h3>

Simple interest is a method of calculating interest on an amount for n period of time with a rate of interest of r. It is calculated with the help of the formula,

Amount after T years = P + SI

SI = PRT

where SI is the simple interest, P is the principal amount, R is the rate of interest, and T is the time period.

James paid off the loan on his motorboat in the year 2006. He originally borrowed $6500 to buy the boat, but with simple annual interest, he discovered that he paid a total of $8775 over the life of the loan. Also, the annual interest rate is 7%. Therefore,

A = P + (PRT)

8775 = 6500 + (6500×0.07×T)

2275 = 6500×0.07×T

T = 5

Hence, the number of years for which James took the loan is 5.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

you should only make one equation:

75 + 45x = 30 + 55x

subtract the 30 frim both sides, then subtract 45x from both sides. you are left with:

45 = 10x

Divide by 10 and get:

4.5 = x
