Avram borrows $14,500 at 5.4% simple interest to open a small business. His bank allows him 9 years to pay back the loan. How much simple interest will Avram have to pay on the loan?

Avram will have to pay $7,047 simple interest

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest

Definition: Interest calculated on the original principal only of a loan or on the balance of an account.

Unlike compound interest where the interest earned in the compounding periods is added to the new principal, simple interest only considers the principal to calculate the interest.

The interest earned is calculated as follows:

I=A.r.t

Where:

I=Interest

P=initial principal balance

r=interest rate

t=time

Avram has a principal of P=$14,500 at a simple rate of r=5.4%=0.054 for t=9 years, thus:

I=14,500*0.054*9=7,047

I=$7,047

Avram will have to pay $7,047 simple interest

134.6 us dollars

step-by-step explanation:

1 us dollar = 1.33 canadian dollars

so, 150 us dollars = 150 × 1.33 = $199.5.

in canada, the money mitchell spent = 20 canadian dollars.

remaining canadian dollars with him = 199.5 - 20 = 179.5.

after mitchell returned to us, he exchanged the remaining canadian dollars to us dollars.

179.5 canadian dollars = 179.5 × 0.75 = 134.6 us dollars.
