Paula invests $10,000 for 5 years at an interest rate of 10% per year. If the interest is simple interest, how much is her investment worth at the end of those five years?

$10,000  x  10%  x   5 years =$5,000  Simple interest earned over 5 years.

 

$10,000 + $5,000 = $15,000 Total principal + interest over 5 years.

Principal  + Simple Interest  = 

 

10000 +  10000 ( interest rate) ( time in years)  =

 

10000  + 10000(.10)(5)  =

 

10000 + 5000 =

 

$15000  after five years
