A payday loan is made for six weeks, where the amount of interest owed per $100 is $20. If you borrow $500 for six weeks, how much do you owe at the end of six weeks? What is the APR for this transaction?

a. $600

b. 173.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For amount owed at the end of six weeks is

= The amount borrowed + interest amount

where,

The amount borrowed is $500

And, the interest is

= $100

= $500 + $100

= $600

b. Now the APR is

Since 20% denotes for the six weeks

So, the annual percentage rate is

=

= 173.33%

see below

step-by-step explanation:

x+2> 6

subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 > 6-2

x > 4

there is an open circle at 4 since is it is greater than and the line goes to the right
