The total amount due after a given period of time is given by the following formula:

A=P(1+rt)

This is for simple interest. <em>A</em> is the total amount due. <em>t</em> is the period of time, <em>r</em> is the interest rate and <em>P</em> is the initial amount borrowed.

To use the formula, <em>t</em> and <em>r</em> must have the same unit of time (both in years or both in months for example). We have the yearly rate as 15%, or well, 0.15. The period is 6 months, which will be half a year, or well, 0.5 years. With this information, we can now replace the values on the formula:

\begin{gathered} A=3000\cdot(1+0.15\cdot0.5) \\ A=3225 \end{gathered}

With this, the total amount due will be $3225.

Alternatively, we can first calculate the interest due with the following formula:

I=P\cdot r\cdot t

And add this amount to the initial amount of money borrowed to estimate the total amount due.

\begin{gathered} I=3000\cdot0.15\cdot0.5 \\ I=225 \end{gathered}

After six months, the student has to pay the $3000 borrowed, plus $225 of interest:

\begin{gathered} A=3000+225 \\ A=3225 \end{gathered}

Answer. Total amount due after 6 months: $3225.

(FIRST PERSON TO ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!!) A student earned $2500.75 at his summer job making $12.50 per hour. Let h represent
laiz [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

12.50 \space\ h = 2500.75

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know from the question that the student earned $12.50 <em>per hour</em>.

Using this information, we can say that if the student worked for <em>h </em>hours, they would make a total of 12.50 × <em>h </em>dollars.

We also know that the total money they earned is $2500.75.

∴ Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

\boxed {12.50 \times h = 2500.75}

From here, if we want to, we can find the number of hours worked by simply making <em>h</em> the subject of the equation and evaluating:

<em>h </em>=<em> </em>\frac{2500.75}{12.50}

  = 200.6 hours
