The local shelter decided to build an addition for cats hey borrowed $6300 from a local bank at a rate of 8% the high school held a fundraiser that allowed the shelter to pay off the loan after only 9 months how much interest did the shelter pay on this loan

Respuesta :

Answer:

$378

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the interest that the shelter payed on this loan, we use the formula: [tex]I=Prt[/tex].

P = $6,300

r = 8% or 0.08

t = 9/12

Now we substitute the values into our formula.

[tex]I=Prt[/tex].

[tex]I=6,300(0.08*\dfrac{9}{12})[/tex]

[tex]I=6,300(0.08*0.75)[/tex]

[tex]I=6,300(0.06)[/tex]

[tex]I=$378[/tex]

So the shelter payed a total of $378 in interest to the bank.
