Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:[tex]I=\$11,911.23[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:we know that The compound interest formula is equal to [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex] where A is the amount that she will repay P is the amount borrowed r is the rate of interest in decimal
t is Number of Time Periods n is the number of times interest is compounded per year
in this problem we have [tex]t=20\ years\\ P=\$10,000\\ r=0.04\\n=1[/tex] substitute in the formula above [tex]A=10,000(1+\frac{0.04}{1})^{1*20}[/tex] [tex]A=10,000(1.04)^{20}[/tex] [tex]A=\$21,911.23[/tex] Find out the interest[tex]I=A-P[/tex]substitute the values[tex]I=\$21,911.23-\$10,000=\$11,911.23[/tex]
