Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A = P(1+r/n)^(n*t)

A = 60000(1+0.08/1)^(1*8)

A = 111,055.812616912

A = 111,055.81

She pays back $111,055.81 total. So she pays 111,055.81 - 60,000 = $51,055.81 in interest total.

The closest answer choice is choice D since it looks like they rounded to the nearest dollar.
