The master family financed a computer that cost $1200. If the interest rate is 19%.how much will the family owe for the computer after one month if no payments are made?
The answer is $1219
Interest = Total amount interest rate time (
I=prt is the formula for calculating interest)
In this case,
Total amount = $1200
Interest rate= $ 0.19
Time span for which interest rate is being calculated= 1/12
(since the rate is yearly and we are calculating interest for a month)
Interest = 12000.191/12 = 19
So the total amount owned by family at the end of one month
= original amount + interest = $1200 +
$19 = $1219
