The amount of an investment of p dollars for t years at simple interest rate r is given by A=P + Prt
A) rewrite this formula by factoring out the greatest common factor on the right-hand side.
A = p(1+rt)
-------------------------
B) find A if $8300 is invested for 3 years at a simple interest rate of 15%.
A = 8300(1+0.15*3)
A = 8300(1.45)
A = $12035.00
