bank a offers tyler 4% simple interest. how much would tyler’s investment be worth after 6 years in this account? show your calculations below.

Tyler's $1,000 investment will be worth $1,240 after 6 years, invested at 4% interest rate.

The problem gives the following relevant data:

Principal = $1000
Interest rate = 4% simple interest
Term or time period = 6 years

Since simple interest is given, we need to use the simple interest formula;

I = P x R x T

where: P is the principal, R is the interest rate, and T is the time the money will be invested.

I = $1000 x 4% x 6yrs
I = $1000 x 0.04 x 6
I = 40 x 6
I = 240  ==> Interest earned after 6 years is $240.

Total Investment = Principal + Interest
T.I. = $1,000 + $240
T.I. = $1,240  ==> the value of Tyler's investment after 6 years.
