Problema Solution

Jim deposits $2000 into an account that pays simple interest at a rate of 4% per year? How much interest will be paid in the first 2 years?

Answer provided by our tutors

P = $2,000

r = 0.04 or 4%

t = 2 years


I = P*r*t


I = 2000*0.04*2


I = $160


Jim will get $160 interest after the first 2 years.
