Simple interest , I, is calculated by multiplying the principal, P, by the rate,r, by the time, t, in years:
I = P * r * t
Here, P = $600
r = 0.05 (decimal value for 5%)
t = 2 years
Part a)
The interest earned will be:
I = P * r * t
I = 600 * 0.05 * 2
I = $60
Part b)
The balance in the account will be $600 plus the interest earned or:
$600 + 60 = $660
Answer:
$60 interest
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 5 by 100 = 0.05
multiply 0.05 by 600 = 30
then multiply 30 by the number of years (2) 30×2= 60
60 dollars interest
