  6. Example • Dianna deposits $725 into a savings account that pays 2.3% simple annual interest. How much interest will Dianna earn after 18 months? Solution • 2.3% rate of interest will be expressed as .023 • In the simple interest formula, time is measured in years. Write 18 months as 18 12 or 1.5 years. • I = Prt Use the formula for simple interest. • Substitute $725 for P, 0.023 for r, and 1.5 for t. • I = (725)(0.023)(1.5) • I = $25.01

  7. Finding the Balance on an account • Use the formula: A = P + Prt • A represents the sum of the principal (P) and the interest earned (Prt) • Example • Belinda deposits $550 in an account that pays 3.7% simple annual interest. If she keeps the money in the account for 2 years, how much will Belinda have in her account after 2 years? • Solution • (550) (2) (.037) =40.7 + 550 = $ 590.7
