Zach borrowed $4,000 from his grandfather to buy a used car so he could travel to and from work. After working for 3 years, he has saved $5,920 to pay back to his grandfather. At what interest rate did Zach borrow the money?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Is this simple interest I mean I am assuming it is

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

So our formula for simple interest is: Total amount= Initial Amount+Initial Amount*Interest Rate*Years

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Our total amount is $5920 Initial amount is $4000 Years=3 The only unknown value is Interest rate which we will subsitute with the variable x So 5920=4000+4000*x*3 Can u solve the rest from here?
