Find the Interest Rate SWIMMING POOLMr. Webster borrowed $1280 to buy a new swimming pool. He will pay $57.60 each month for the next 24 months. Find the simple interest rate for his loan. Understand You need to find the simple interest rate. Plan Use the formula I = prt. Solve First, find the amount of interest he will pay over 24 months. 24 ● $57.60 = $1382.40 Multiply to find the total amount. Example 2
Find the Interest Rate $1382.40 – $1280 = $102.40 Subtract to find the interest. The principal is $1280. So, p = 1280. The loan will be for 24 months or 2 years, so t = 2. I = prt Write the simple interest formula. 102.40= 1280 ● r ● 2 Replace I with 102.40, p with 1280, and t with 2. 102.40 = 2560r Simplify. Example 2
CheckUse the formula I = prt. $1280 ● 0.04 ● 2 = $102.40 Find the Interest Rate Divide each side by 2560. 0.04= r Answer: The simple interest rate is 0.04 or 4%. Example 2
