Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8 percent of 5000 is 400 times 3 (years) is 1200

Answers:

  • a)  $1200 in interest is charged.
  • b)  $6200 must be paid back in total.

i = 5000*0.08*3

She must pay back the amount borrowed ($5000) which is the principal as well as the interest calculated in part a) earlier.

The total amount she must pay back is 5000+1200 = 6200 dollars
