Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jacob borrowed $30, 000 to start up his consulting business. The loan had simple interest rate of 6.2% for 3 years.

To find : The amount of interest he will pay with the loan ?

Solution :

Using interest formula,

[tex]I=P\times R\times T[/tex]

Where, P is the principal P=$30,000

R is the rate of interest R=6.2%=0.062

T is the time t=3 years.

Substitute the value in the formula,

[tex]I=30000\times 0.062\times 3[/tex]

[tex]I=5580[/tex]

Therefore, The amount of interest is $5580.
