I need some help with finding interest, Joe earned $300 on an amount deposited into his bank account for 3 years at a 2% annual simple interest rate. How much did Joe deposit? I would really appreciate it if you could explain your answer, Thanks.

OpenStudy (nevermind_justschool):

FINALLY! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-PRETENDS NOT TO BE FLATTTERED- OFC U DO!!! IM SCAR LOL

OpenStudy (nevermind_justschool):

Haha, okay. That was weird... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok explain to me what interest is

OpenStudy (nevermind_justschool):

Interest, isn't that when you haven't paid something on-time and you have to pay extra?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct now how would u find interest

OpenStudy (nevermind_justschool):

I am not 100% sure. Can you explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me either but i shall help as much as i can. so joe has $300 and 2%. I believe your suppose to divide $300 by 2%

OpenStudy (nevermind_justschool):

Okay... I'll try

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

So 300/.02

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

If you are supposed to divide by 2%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we're thinking ur suppose to

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Yeah I agree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@horsegirl27 wat do u think?

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Well on calculator that's what you get. But I'm not sure try multiplying instead

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Actually maybe 15000 makes sense

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Is this multiple choice?

OpenStudy (nevermind_justschool):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that @horsegirl27 is correct cuz she is trying to find out what joe put in the bank

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

I think 15000 makes sense because he earned 300 in interest and you have to have a large amount to get lots of interest

OpenStudy (nevermind_justschool):

Okay, thank you both!

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

Your welcome! Hope we were right!
