Answer 1

Answer:

Katherine invested $12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Use formula

$I=P\cdot r\cdot t,$

where

I = interest,

P = principal,

r = rate (as decimal),

t = time (in years).

In your case,

t = 1 year,

r = 0.06 (or 6%)

P + I =$12,720, thus

$12,720-P=P\cdot 0.06\cdot 1\\ \\12,720-P=0.06P\\ \\12,720=P+0.06P\\ \\1.06P=12,720\\ \\P=\dfrac{12,720}{1.06}\\ \\P=\ 12,000\\ \\I=\ 12,720-\ 12,000=\ 720$
