Question

Help ASAP!!! Savings Account.Christine Chu borrowed $4500 from a bank at a simple interest rate of 2.5% for one year.

Answer 1

Answer: $112.50 ; $4612.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Determine how much interest Christine paid at the end of 1 year.

This will be:

Simple interest = PRT/100

where

P = principal = $4500

R = rate = 2.5%

T = time = 1 year

Interest = (4500 × 2.5 × 1)/100

= 11250/100

= $112.50

b) Determine the total amount Christine will repay the bank at the end of 1 year.

Total amount = Principal + Interest

= $4500 + $112.50

= $4612.5
