Need help ASAP. A woman obtained a 2-year loan to cover the costs of a vacation. She was surprised to find that the simple annual interest rate of 8.5% meant that she would be paying $425 in interest. What was the original amount of her loan?

  425/0.17 = P = 2500 . . . . divide by the coefficient of P

The original amount of the loan was $2500.
