Well lets focus on this part for now,we know it states "interest rate = 6%"

You wanna divide the interest rate which is (6)% by (100)

$$6\div100=0.06$$

Multiply the interest rate which is now (0.06) by the "Time = 7 years"

$$0.06\times7=0.42$$

Divide the "Interest = $840.00" by (0.42)

$$840.00\div0.42=2,000$$

(2,000) can also be written as (2,000.00)

The principal on the loan was D.)$2,000.00.
