Why is the interest rate of a loan one of the most important things to consider when shopping around for loans?
a.
the interest rate should be ignored, because there’s nothing a consumer can do to change it.
b.
the interest rate is essentially how long you have to pay off your loan, and the shorter the better.
c.
the interest rate can drastically change the total amount paid to the lender, in the case of mortgages, up to thousands of dollars.
d.
the interest rate does not change, even between banks, so choosing the right time to borrow is essential.

The correct answer is c.  The interest rate can drastically change the total amount paid to the lender, in the case of mortgages, up to thousands of dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of interest is A=P (1+r)ⁿ

A=Final amount  

P= Principal ( deposit)  

r= interest rate

n= time

As we can see,  interest rate will be added to the final amount.  If the interest rate is higher ,  higher will be the amount.  So,  it is an important issue when you are evaluating a loan.  

second option

step-by-step explanation:

the measures of a triangle equal 180. use that to find x.

2x+3x+4x=180

9x=180

9x/9=180/9

x=20

now you know x, you know angle a is 40°, angle b is 60°, angle c is 80°.

because angle a is 40°, the first option doesn't work.

because angle b is 60°, the second option does work.

when you add angle a and b, you get 100°. complementary means it equals 90°, so the third option doesn't work.

when you add angle a and c, you get 120°, which is not 100.
