What is interest?

The interest is the money that accrues on the principal. It is the money that is paid on top of the principal.

We have the principal as  $9,000, rate as 11% and total time as 3 years. It then follows that the interest paid is; A = 9000 * 0.11 * 3 = $2970

Therefore, the total amount to be repaid =  $9,000 + $2970 = $11970
