Roper Fox took out a simple interest loan at 5% interest for 12 months. His previous balance is $200. What is his final payment if the loan is paid off with the next payment?

Respuesta :

how i looked at this was finding the interest total in 1 year which is $10. since he is paying it off at the next payment(in one month) divide 10 by 12 for the interest in one month add that $200 as that was the base starting price

Answer:

His final payment if the loan is paid off with the next payment is:

            $ 200.83

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Roper Fox took out a simple interest loan at 5% interest for 12 months.

His previous balance is $200.

The interest on the loan that is to be paid on the previous balance is calculated as:

[tex]Interest=\dfrac{200\times 5\times 1}{12\times 100}\\\\\\Interest=0.83[/tex]

Hence, the final payment is:

    Previous balance+Interest

= 200+0.83

=$ 200.83

          Hence, the answer is:

               $ 200.83
