Which of the following is the simple interest paid on a loan of $354 at 6% for six months?


$10.62


$10.26


$12.47


$12.74

Respuesta :

Answer: interest at the end of 6 months is $10.62

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal

R represents interest rate

T represents time in years

I = interest after t years

From the information given

T = 6 months = 6/12 = 0.5 years

P = $354

R = 6%

Therefore

I = (354 × 6 × 0.5)/100

I = 1062/100

I = 10.62
