Question

New shoes are on SALE. You find a pair you like for $85 dollars. But you only have $45 with you. So, you pay $40 and charge the balance. At 8% interest, what will the balance owed be in six months? (Assume no payments made and simple interest.)

Answer 1

Answer:

$46.8

Explanation:

The shoe is worth $85. You pay a deposit of $40. The balance is $45.

So $45  is charged at 8% interest for six months.

Simple interest I= p x r x t

In this case, p is $45,

r is 8%

t= 6 months or 0.5 years

I = $45 x 8/100 x 0.5

I= $45 x 0.08 x 0.5

I=$1.8

The total amount owed will be $45 + $1.8

=$46.8
