Question 18 • SS-Math 7

Lenore borrowed $400 to pay for car repairs. She needs to pay it back in 2 years with simple interest. Lenore wants to figure out the interest rate of her loan. What additional information does she need to find the interest rate?

Answer
p
principal
a
amount of time
i
interest she will owe
t
the type of car repairs

Explanation

Simple interest is calculated with I = P × r × t, where I is the interest, P is the principal, r is the rate, and t is the time. Lenore already knows the principal is $400 and the time is 2 years, so she needs to know the interest she will owe to solve for the rate. The correct choice is the interest she will owe.
