1. Simple Interest Formula I = PRT

2. I = PRT I = interest earned (amount of money the bank pays you) P = Principle amount invested or borrowed. R = Interest Rate usually given as a percent (must changed to decimal before plugging it into formula) T = Time ( in years)

3. EX1) A principle of $7,600 is invested at 3.5%, what is the total simple interest accumulated after 4 years. I = PRT I= I=$1,064 Interest paid by bank is unknown Principle (invested) Rate changed to decimal Time is 4 years Multiply 7,600.0354 XX

4. An investment of $7,000 is invested at 7.5%, what is the total simple interest accumulated in the checking account after 3 years. I = PRT I= I= $1575 7,000.0753 XX EX 2) When invested at an annual interest rate of 6% an account earned $360.00 of simple interest in 2 years. How much money was originally invested in account? EX 3) I = PRT 360 = 360 = 0.12 P 360 ÷ 0.06 3,000 = P P.062 XX X
