OpenStudy (anonymous):

The problem reads: Jamal deposited $600 into a savings account tha will earn 2% simple interest. If Jamal keeps the money in the account for 2 years without making any deposits or withdrawls, how much money will he earn in interest. then they gave us an equation I = prt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know what I= prt is though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I= interest P= principle R= Rate T= Time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P = principal, the amount deposited or borrowed, in dollars. R = annual interest rate, in percent, expressrd as a decimal or fraction. T = time the account is open, in years I = interest earned, in dollars, during the T years.
