Morgan has an investment worth $30,000 dollars invested at 5% simple interest. If no withdrawals or deposits were made, what is the balance after 20 years?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\$60,000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

[tex]A=P(1+rt)[/tex]

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

[tex]t=20\ years\\ P=\$30,000\\r=5\%=5/100=0.05[/tex]

substitute in the formula above

[tex]A=30,000(1+0.05*20)[/tex]

[tex]A=30,000(2)[/tex]

[tex]A=\$60,000[/tex]
