Answer:

A.  Interest = $1710

B.  Monthly payment = $467.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest formula:

[tex]\sf A = P(1+rt)[/tex]

where:

  • A = final amount
  • P = principal
  • r = annual interest rate (in decimal form)
  • t = time (in years)

Given:

  • P = $9,500
  • r = 9% = 0.09
  • t = 2 years

Substitute given information into the formula:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \sf \implies A & = \sf 9500(1+0.09 \cdot 2)\\& = \sf 11210 \end{aligned}[/tex]

Interest = final amount - principal

             = 11210 - 9500

             = $1710

term = 2 years

1 year = 12 months

⇒ term = 2 × 12 = 24 months

Monthly payment = final amount ÷ months in term

                              = 11210 ÷ 24

                              = $467.08

  • Principle=P=9500
  • Time=T=2yrs
  • Rate of interest=9%
  • Interest be I

So

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail I=\dfrac{PRT}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail I=\dfrac{9500(2)(9)}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail I=95(18)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail I=\$ 1710[/tex]

#B

Total months=24

Monthly payment:-

  • Principle+Interest/months
  • 9500+1710/24
  • 11210/24
  • 467.08≈467$
