I can't message you... So I need your help on this... Shaun borrowed $600 from the bank at 12% interest for 12 months. Including interest, how much did he have to repay?

Nnesha (nnesha):

thats fine so do you now the formula for interest rate ?

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

prt

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Nvm I got it lol. Thanks for trying though;)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

is it simple interest or compounded ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

I= prt where p = 600 r=12 (need in decimal form 12/100) t= time solve for `I`

Nnesha (nnesha):

what did you get ? i want to check my answer :3 ....

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

It's simple interest...

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

600*12*1=72.... 600+72=672

Nnesha (nnesha):

it's 12% you need to convert into decimal so divide 12 by100 and then multiply them

Nnesha (nnesha):

72 looks right but why did you add 600+72 hmmm :o
