so would the answer be 97.37
writeacher is the answer 136.31
Hmmm. when you use the word interest, you have to specify what that is: For instance, if 9 percent is annual interest, or if 9 percent is for 7 months (which would be almost 17 percent annual).
If your interest fee is 9 percent annual, but paid at the end of 7 months in total, then interest=7/12* 2596.4*(.09)=136.31
You have to be very precise in your problem statement, as I assure you the question as written can be interpreted as something different.
thank you
To calculate the total interest, you can use the formula:
Total Interest = Principal * Interest Rate * Time
Here's how to calculate the total interest:
Step 1: Convert the interest rate from a percentage to a decimal.
Interest Rate = 9% = 0.09
Step 2: Plug in the values into the formula.
Principal = $2596.40
Time = 7 months
Total Interest = $2596.40 * 0.09 * 7
Step 3: Calculate the result.
Total Interest = $2057.76
Therefore, the correct answer is $233.68, as you chose. So, well done!
