Respuesta :

Answer:

$315

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to want to use the simple interest formula for this. The one below is modified for solving the interest earned.

[tex]I = Prt[/tex]

I = interest amount

P = principal amount

r = interest rate (decimal form)

t = time

Now we can plug in the values into the equation:

[tex]I = 350(.06)(15)[/tex]

[tex]I = 315[/tex]

This means that Rachel earned $315 worth of interest in the 15 year period.
