Morty loaned Ferdie $2,500 for 1 year at 8%. At the end of the year, how much did Ferdie have to pay back ?
Simple Interest Formula: Principal * Rate * Time
Principal = $2,500
Rate = 8% or 0.08
Time = 1
Therefore:
2,500 * 0.08 * 1 = 200

Therefore the Interest is $200.
Answer:
Ferdie paid back $2,500 + $200 = $2,700
