Step-by-step explanation:
To answer this will we use our equation of I = prt
in this case the I in the equation, or meaning the interest will remain as a variable
our p in the equation or principal, will be 1500
next our r, or rate in the following equation will be 4%. since it is a percent, we will have to convert it into a decimal, 0.04
finally our t, or time. in this case it will be 5 years
here is our equation
I = 1,500 x 0.04 x 5
then we solve, given us 300
300 = 1,500 x 0.04 × 5
I (Interest) = 300
Total cost = 1,800
Answer:
a) Interest earned = $300
b) balance = $1800
Step-by-step explanation:
a) I = Prt
P = $1500
r = 0.04
t = 5yrs
Substitute
I = ($1500)(0.04)(5)
Multiply
I = $300
b) balance = previous + interest earned
balance = $1500 + $300 = $1800
