Mr. Davis borrowed $600 for 60 days at 9% annual interest. However he was able to repay the loan in 30 days. How much interest was he able to save by doing this?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Thus he was able to save 4.438 dollars by paying 30 days before due.

Step-by-step explanation:

given that Mr. Davis borrowed $600 for 60 days at 9% annual interest.

Thus interest payable for 60 days = [tex]\frac{600*60*9}{365*100} \\=8.876[/tex]

Because he paid fully after 30 days his interest would have been only for 60 days

or half of interest for 60 days

So savings of interest = 50% of 8.876

=4.438 dollars

Thus he was able to save 4.438 dollars by paying 30 days before due.
