Answer 1

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The formula for simple interest is;

I=PRT/100

Given that;

P = $4,000

R = 10%

t = 3 years

Hence, we now substitute into the formula;

I = 4,000 * 10 * 3/100

I = $1200

Total amount owed = principal + interest

Total amount owed = $1200 + $4,000

Total amount owed = $5200
