Simple Interest

Simple interest is used when there is a single compounding per time period.

The amount of interest after t years in is modeled by:

I(t) = Prt

In which:

  • P is the initial amount.
  • r is the interest rate, as a decimal.

In this problem, considering the time in years, the parameters are:

[tex]P = 2000, r = 0.18, t = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]I(t) = 2000 \times 0.18 \times \frac{1}{12} = 30[/tex]

Her interest charge this month will be of $30.
