Bob loaned Christine $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,010
$1,030
$1,020
$1,060

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,000
i = 0.03 x $1,000

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $1,000 + $30
total = $1,030
