Alex takes out a loan for $2000 at a 5% simple interest rate determine how much money he will need to re-pay in total

Respuesta :

That would be $2000 + $2000(0.05)(t), where t is the number of years.  Unfortunately you have not provided a value for t.

Total payback would be $2000 + $2000(0.05)(t).
