Question
A woman borrowed $3800 from a bank for 3 months. A friend was cosigner of the woman's personal note. The bank collected 512% simple interest on the date of maturity.
a) How much did the
woman pay for the use of the money?
b) Determine the amount
she repaid to the bank on the due date of the note.
Expert Solution
Step 1
Simple interest is the amount of interest that a borrower pays on the loan acquired by him or her i.e. the interest rate being charged on the loan acquired by the borrower. The net amount that the woman will pay for using the loan money is the interest amount and, the amount repaid by the borrower is the sum total of principal amount and the interest amount for the life of loan.
