Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Simple Interest</u>
Definition: Interest calculated on the original principal only of a loan or on the balance of an account.
Unlike compound interest where the interest earned in the compounding periods is added to the new principal, simple interest only considers the principal to calculate the interest.
The interest earned is calculated as follows:
I=P.r.t
Where:
I = Interest
P = initial principal balance
r = interest rate
t = time
Marving is saving money in a savings account with a simple interest rate of r=7.5%=0.075. It's known that after t=12 years, the account had earned $288 interest. Substituting in the formula:
288 = P*0.075*12
Calculating:
288 = 0.9P
Dividing by 0.9:
P = $320
Correct choice: C. $320
<span>you need to find the amount of years between now and when she wants to buy a home. 36-18= 18. then you take 18 and multiply is by %6. 18x%6 or 18x.06 =108% or 1.08.
The discount prices for today's housing values compared to 18 years from now with a 6% increase per year would be 108% discount. </span>
