Answer:

  • Susan paid $2220 more

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the interest formula:

  • I = Prt, where P - amount of loan, r- interest rate, t- time in years

Robert:

  • I = 30000*(4.9/100)*4 = 5880

Susan:

  • I = 30000*(4.5/100)*6 = 8100

Difference in amounts of interest:

  • 8100 - 5880 = 2220

Susan paid $2220 more
