<PRE><B>Question 1110648</B>
Tom invested $8000 for 3 years at a rate of 4% . How much simple interest would he have earned and how much does the bank give him back after 3 years? 
-----
Simple interest value equation::
V(t) = P(1+r*t)
----
V(3) = 8000(1+0.04*3)
V(3) = 8000(1.12)
V(3) = $8960
Interest = $960
