Bank a charges ordinary interest while Bank B charges exact interest Susan Carter wants to borrow $11,000 for 90 days at 9% which bank offers a better deal ?

Respuesta :

We are given that Bank A charges ordinary interest for a loan of $11000 at a rate of 9% for a period of 90 days, we can calculate the total interest using the formula for ordinary interest, this is:

[tex]\text{Interest =(amount)(rate)(days/360)}[/tex]

Replacing that we get:

[tex]\text{Interest}=(11000)(0.9)(\frac{90}{360})[/tex]

Solving we get:

[tex]\text{Interest}=2475[/tex]

Now, bank B charges exact interest, the formula is:

[tex]\text{Interest}=(amount)(rate)(\frac{days}{365})[/tex]

Replacing we get:

[tex]\text{Interest}=(11000)(0.9)(\frac{90}{365})[/tex]

solving the operation:

[tex]\text{Interest}=2441[/tex]

Therefore, she will pay less interest to Bank B. Bank B offers a better deal.
