Answer:
$1,363,636.36
Explanation:
A public traded construction company just paid off a loan that was received one year earlier
The amount of money paid by the company was $1,500,000
The interest rate was 10% per year
= 10/100
= 0.10
Therefore the amount of money that was borrowed last year can be calculated as follows
Let x represent the amount of money borrowed
x + x(0.10)= 1,500,000
x + 0.10x= 1,500,000
1.1x= 1,500,000
x= 1,500,000/1.1
x= $1,363,636.36
Hence the company borrowed $1,363,636.36 a year ago
