Elsie’s ain’t borrows $400 with an interest rate of 1.5% how much interest will she pay after 4 years?

Formula I = P x r x t
p is the principal amount, $400.00
r is the interest rate 1.5% a yea (0.015 in decimal)
t is time involved 4 years
so t is 4 year time periods

To find the simple interest we multiply 400 x 0.015 x 4 to get $24.00

so if you borrowed the $400 dollars you would now owe $424

so it's $24 interest or $424 since it's usually added to the principal

(-14+3/2b) - (1+8/2b) = -5 -5/2b(-10+b) + (7b-5) = 8b-15(7/2b-3) - (8+6b) = -5/2b-11(5+2b) + (2b+3/2) = 4b+ 13/2
