We first find out the amount in dollars of interest accrued after 2 years time.
Interest = Prt
where P is the principal, r is the rate and t is time
8% written in decimal fraction → 8/100 → 0.08
Interest = 17000 × 8% × 2
Interest = 1700 × 0.08 × 2
Interest = 2,720 dollars
We add the principal and the interest to get full amount paid, so:
17000 + 2,720 = 19,720
I hope that you good day
