Daniel borrowed $8,000 at 6% interest for 10 years.  What was the total interest

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

$8,000x6%(0.06)= $480... So, how much for 10 years? $480x10=$4,800

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I=prt $4,800 is correct

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

is it compound interest or simple interest, if compound how many times per year is it compund?

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

it would be simple interest, because the rate stays the same over the period of the 10 years.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

the rate is not by how much the invested sum has been increased, it's the % of interest gained, but I see what you meant.

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

okk:))
