You borrow money for 4 years. the total amount that you repay is $7,840, which includes $840 in simple interest. how much was the principal? what was the annual interest rate?

Step-by-step explanation:

amount repaid = principal + interest

$7840 = principal + $840

$7000 = principal . . . . . . . . subtract $840 from both sides of the equation

___

I = Prt

840 = 7000·r·4

840/(4·7000) = r = 0.03 = 3%

The principal was $7000; the interest rate was 3%.
