Numbers A $500 deposit earns 6% simple annual interest for4 years. I ! ($500)(0.06)(4) ! $120

E X A M P L E 1 Finding a Balance

To find the total amount that Tim will owe, as described above, first findthe interest using the simple interest formula.

I ! Prt Write simple interest formula.

! (100)(0.05)(1) Substitute 100 for P, 0.05 for r, and 1 for t.

Congratulations!! You have just won $50,000! You decide to invest your money and the bank presents you with two investment options. You may either invest your $50,000 at 5% interest, compounded monthly, for a period of ten years OR you can invest that $50,000 at 5% interest, compounded continuously, for ten years. You must figure out which investment option will yield a greater profit.

You have already learned how to use the rules of exponents to solve math problems and to solve exponential equations. Now you will apply these concepts to solve interest problems.

There are several types of interest problems. This lesson deals with solving problems where

interest is compounded and where interest is continuous.
