96. Amount of an investment. 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.
b) Find A if $8300 is invested for 3 years at a simple interest rate of 15%.
Part a:
A = P + Prt
A = P(1 + rt)....This is the factored form.
==========================================
Part b:
I will set it up and you can finish.
A = 8300[1 + 0.15(3)]
Simplify the right side and you will find A.
