If the problem doesn't specify, then it's simple interest.

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The formula for simple interest


\n" ); document.write( "P = Principal = 2000

\n" ); document.write( "r = interest rate =6% = 6/100 = .06

\n" ); document.write( "t = time (in years) = 5

\n" ); document.write( "I = interest earned = solution

\n" ); document.write( "I=P*r*t


\n" ); document.write( "I =2000*.06*5= $600


\n" ); document.write( "He will earn $600 in 5 years. He will have the original principal plus the interest after 5 years.


\n" ); document.write( "$2000+$600=$2600.\r
