The following information is known about a loan. Time = 8 years Interest rate = 14% Principal = $1,010 What is the total amount of simple interest that is earned?
Answer: Total simple interest= $1131.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Principal (P)= $1010
Time (t)= 8 years
Rate of interest = 14%
In decimal rate of interest (r)=0.14
We know that the simple interest is given by
\(Simple\ interest =Prt\\\Rightarrow\ Simple\ interest=1010\times0.14\\\Rightarrow\ Simple interest=\$1131.2\)
Hence, the total simple interest earned = $1131.2
