Jose deposits $1500 of his tax refund into an account that earns simple annual interest. How much interest will his account earn after 6 years at an annual interest rate of 4%?

Verified Answer :

1500 x 4% = 60
60 x 6 = 360
His account will earn $360 interest after 6 years.

Interest on amount \(\$1500\) with the interest rate \(4\%\)  for \(6\) years is equal to \(\$360\).

What is interest?

" Interest is defined as the total amount of money paid for the use of others money."

Formula used

Simple interest \(= \frac{P\times R\times T}{100}\)

P = Principal

R = Rate of interest

T = Time

According to the question,

Amount deposited in the bank 'Principal' \(= \$1500\)

Rate of interest \(= 4\%\)

Time \(= 6\) years

Substitute the value in the formula to get the interest,

Simple interest \(= \frac{1500\times 4\times 6}{100}\)

                           \(= 15 \times 4\times 6\\\\= \$360\)

Hence, interest on amount \(\$1500\) with the interest rate \(4\%\)  for \(6\) years is equal to \(\$360\).
