If a car travels 40 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
50 mph
40 mph
65 mph
55 mph

Charlie loaned Christine $200 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$212
$206
$216
$218

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 $200
i = 0.08 x $200

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

total = $200 + $16
total = $216
