Answer 1

Answer:

Total amount pay after 3 week = $147.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of loan taken = $125

Amount interest per $100 = $6 per week

Find:

Total amount pay after 3 week

Computation:

Amount of interest per week = 125[6/100]

Amount of interest per week = $7.5 per week

Amount of interest in three week = 3 x Amount of interest per week

Amount of interest in three week = 3 x 7.5

Amount of interest in three week = $22.5

Total amount pay after 3 week = Amount of loan taken + Amount of interest in three week

Total amount pay after 3 week = 125 + 22.5

Total amount pay after 3 week = $147.5
