Answer:
The interest charged is $7.49.
After 29 days, Travis paid a total of $607.49
Step-by-step explanation:
Travis obtained a cash advance for $600.
The interest rate is 0.04305% per day.
The simple interest rate formula is given by:
Where <em>I</em> is the interest, <em>P</em> is the initial amount, <em>r</em> is the rate, and <em>t</em> is the time (in this case in days).
Our initial amount <em>P</em> is $600.
Our interest rate <em>r</em> is 0.04305% or (moving the decimal two places to the left) 0.0004305.
Since Travis repaid the loan after 29 days, our <em>t</em> is 29.
Hence, our interest is:
So, the interest charged is about $7.49.
So, after 29 days, Travis paid a total of the original $600 plus an interest of $7.49 for a total of $607.49
The person would have to leave the money in the bank for 7.8 years for it to reach 13,500 dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; First we must calculate how much interest is generated for a single year. The annual interest rate is 4.5% i.e. 4.5% of 10,000 dollars which equals 0.045 × 10,000 = 450 dollars a year. As the years pass, more and more will be put into the account due to interest.
Step 2; For there to be 13,500 dollars in the bank account we need to calculate how much money is added due to interest.
The money needed to be added through interest = 13,500 - 10,000 = 3,500 dollars.
So we need to determine how long it will take for the bank to add 3,500 dollars by adding 450 dollars a year.
The number of years to reach 13,500 dollars = = 7.777 years. By rounding this value to the nearest tenth, we get 7.8 years.
