help plz i will medal correct answer

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

It is 6% interest PER year, so how much will the interest be after four years?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

240?

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Just do 6 x 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh 24 is that the answer

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Not really. 24 is only the simple interest (in percentage).

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Now you do 24% of 1000.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

240

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Yes, now you need to add that to 1000 (the cost in the savings account) to get the TOTAL.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1240? im srry if i get it wrong im not the brightest in the bunch

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

240 <-- the simple interest (in dollars) ____ (1000+240) <-- the Total

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Correct!
