Question 1099065: Marie borrowed $3500 on a one-year simple interest loan at 15% interest. The monthly payments were $300. Please help me find the amount of interest, the amount applied to the principal, and the new balance for the first monthly payment.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! $3500 on a one-year, simple interest loan at 15% would equal a total amount of 3500*1.15, or $4025 balance due by the end of the year. After the first payment:
1.15n=300
n=260.87 applied to the principal, $39.13 applied as interest. The new balance after the first payment would be 4025-300=$3,725 balance
