simple interest is not compounded interest.

it does not assume re-investment of the profits.

to find simple interest, you multiply the principal by the interest rate to get the interest.

9000 * .05 = 450 interest.

multiply the interest by 2 to get 900 interest for the 2 years.

formula would be p * i * n

p is the principal (9000)
i is the interest rate (.05)
n is the number of years (2)

formula becomes 9000 * .05 * 2 = 900
