1. You purchase a car using a $20,000 loan with a 5% simple interest rate.
(a) Suppose you pay the loan off after 4 years. How much interest do you pay on your loan? Show your work.
(b) Suppose you pay the loan off after 2 years. How much interest do you pay on your loan? Show your work.
(c) Do you pay more interest if you pay the loan off after 4 years or after 2 years?

any body go to k12

5% of 20000 is 1000 so the amount of years times the amount of interest per year. 4 years is (4x1000=4000) and 2 years is (2x1000) 4000 is greater than 2000.

if this is incorrect it is using rising interests just let me know and ill edit

So basically all you do is this, on your assignment youll see words and stuff that are in colors. They also give you a formula for that. Its really easy.

So, you have 20000, 5%(0.5), 4 and 2. 20000 is blue, 5%(0.5) is orange, 4 and 2 are purple. So you do 20000 x 0.5 and you get 10000. So now you do 10000 x 4 x 2 and you get 80000xxx(or just 80000).

Or do 10000 x 4. Then after that take the result of 10000 x 4 and do x2. :)

I think I should the work enough, and good luck with the assignment.

Hope I helped-Aced
