Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The principal amount is \$9,000.
2. The interest rate is 11% per annum.
3. The date borrowed is April 20.
4. The date repaid is August 08.
5. We are using ordinary interest, which assumes a 360-day year.
6. We need to calculate the time in days, the simple interest, and the total amount paid back.

STEP 2

1. Calculate the time in days between the borrowing and repaying dates.
2. Calculate the simple interest using the ordinary interest formula.
3. Calculate the total amount paid back.

STEP 3

Calculate the number of days from April 20 to August 08.
- April 20 to April 30: 10 10 days - May: 31 31 days - June: 30 30 days - July: 31 31 days - August 1 to August 8: 8 8 days
Total days = 10+31+30+31+8=110 10 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 8 = 110 days

STEP 4

Use the ordinary interest formula:
Simple Interest=Principal×Rate×Time360\text{Simple Interest} = \frac{\text{Principal} \times \text{Rate} \times \text{Time}}{360}
Substitute the known values:
Simple Interest=9000×11%×110360\text{Simple Interest} = \frac{9000 \times 11\% \times 110}{360}

STEP 5

Calculate the simple interest:
Simple Interest=9000×0.11×110360=108900360=302.50\text{Simple Interest} = \frac{9000 \times 0.11 \times 110}{360} = \frac{108900}{360} = 302.50

STEP 6

Calculate the total amount paid back:
Amount Paid Back=Principal+Simple Interest=9000+302.50=9302.50\text{Amount Paid Back} = \text{Principal} + \text{Simple Interest} = 9000 + 302.50 = 9302.50
The time in days is 110 110 days, the simple interest is \$302.50, and the total amount paid back is \$9302.50.
