Answer 1

Answer:

Option 3 - $20,073.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Alisha has a $15,000 car loan with a 6 percent interest rate that is compounded annually.

To find : How much will she have paid at the end of the five-year loan term?

Solution :

The formula used to find the amount is $A=P(1+i)^t$

Where, P is the principal P=$15000

r is the rate r=6%

i = 0.06

t is the time t=5 year

Substitute the value in the formula,

$A=15000(1+0.06)^5$

$A=15000(1.06)^5$

$A=15000(1.338)$

$A=20073.38$

Therefore, The total amount she paid is $20073.38.

So, Option 3 is correct.
