Simple Interest Round answers to the nearest cent. 1. John is going to invest $100 in an account for 3 years. If the account earns 6% simple interest, how much interest can he expect to earn?

Respuesta :

Given Data:

The initial investment is: P=$100

The total period of investment is: t=3

The annual interest is: 6%.

For the simple interest, the expression to calculate the interest in t years is,

[tex]I=(P\times\frac{r}{100})\times t[/tex]

Here r is in percentage.

Substitute known values in the above expression.

[tex]\begin{gathered} I=(100\times\frac{6}{100})\times3 \\ =(6)\times3 \\ =18 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the total intrest for 3 years will be $18.
