What is compound interest?

Compound interest is the amount charged on the principal amount and the accumulated interest with a fixed rate of interest for a time period.

[tex]A=P\times\left(1+\dfrac{r}{n\times100}\right)^{nt}\\[/tex]

Here, A is the final amount (principal plus interest amount) on the principal amount P of with the rate r of in the time period of t.

Here, total time period is six years.

As the loan amount is of $7,725 and the APR of Ethel loan is 9. 14%, compounded monthly.

[tex]A=7725\times\left(1+\dfrac{9.14}{1200}\right)^{72}\\A=13340.2278[/tex]

The APR of Jack’s loan is 6. 88, compounded monthly.

[tex]A=7725\times\left(1+\dfrac{6.88}{1200}\right)^{72}\\A=11659.05[/tex]
