Find the finance charge (interest) due on a 9-month loan of $2,400 at a simple interest rate of 10%.(Use the formula for simple interest: Interest Earned = Principal×Rate×Time)
(a)$ 18.00 (b)$ 1,800 (c)$ 180
(d)$ 1.80 (e)$ 18
I put in 2400*9*.10 and it equals 2160 so i don't get what i'm doing wrong for the problem
I = Prt = 2400 * 0.1/yr * (9/12)yrs = $180.
Remember, t must be in years:
9/12 = 3/4yr = 0.75 yr.
The simple interest formula is I = PxRxt Plug in the values and see what you come up with for the interest :o) P = loan amount R = rate T = time

I NEED HELP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To find the finance charge (interest) on the loan, you need to use the formula for simple interest:
Interest Earned = Principal × Rate × Time
In this case, the principal is $2,400, the rate is 10% (or 0.10 as a decimal), and the time is 9 months.
Plug in these values into the formula:
Interest Earned = $2,400 × 0.10 × 9
Now, let's calculate it step by step:
Interest Earned = $2,400 × 0.10 = $240
Then, multiply the interest by the time:
Interest Earned = $240 × 9 = $2,160
Therefore, the finance charge (interest) due on the 9-month loan of $2,400 at a simple interest rate of 10% is $2,160.
