Answer 1

Amount of Money Using Simple Interest

We need to find the Amount of Money at the end of 30 years using Simple Interest

Solution:

We know the formula to find the Amount using simple interest,

Amount = A = P ( 1 + rt)

Here, P = Principal Amount

r = Rate of Interest

t = time Period in Years

From the given problem,

P = 3000 , r = 4% = 0.04 , t = 30

Plug these values in the equation A  =  P ( 1 + rt)

A = 3000 ( 1 + 0.04 x 30 )

= 3000 ( 1+ 1.2) = 3000 (2.2) = 6600

Answer:

Amount of Money at the end of 30 years = 6600
