Problema Solution

In order to pay for baseball uniforms, a school takes out a simple interest loan for $20,000 for 7 months at a rate of 12%

A. How much interest must the school pay?

B. Find the future value of the loan?

Answer provided by our tutors

interest = principal * rate * time

we assume the loan was granted for one 7-month period and therefore the specific interest applies to a time unit of 1


interest = 20000 * 0.12 = 2400


the interest on the loan would be $2,400


but I suspect that something in this problem is worded incorrectly or unclearly
