Question

Billy Thornton borrowed $140,000 at a rate of 7.25%, simple interest, with interest paid at the end of each month. The bank uses a 360-day year. How much interest would Billy have to pay in a 30-day month

Answer 1

Answer:

$845.83

Explanation:

The computation of the interest is shown below:

= Principal × rate of interest × number of days ÷ (total number of days in a year)  

= $140,000 × 7.25% × (30 days ÷ 360 days)

= $845.83

Simply we applied the simple interest formula by multiplying the principal, interest rate and the time period so that it can arrive with the correct amount
