Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total amount Daniel LaRusso will have to pay back in 2 years, we first need to calculate the interest he will owe on the loan.Simple Interest (I) = P * r * t

where P is the principal (the amount borrowed), r is the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal), and t is the time (in years) for which the loan is borrowed.In this case, the principal is $1,200, the annual interest rate is 8%, and the time is 2 years.I = $1,200 * 0.08 * 2 = $192So, he will have to pay back a total of $1,200 (principal) + $192 (interest) = $1,392So, Daniel LaRusso will have to pay back a total of $1,392 in 2 years.

Answer:

  • D) $1392

---------------------------------

The amount of interest at 8% simple for 2 years is 16% of the loan:

  • $1200* 16% =
  • $1200*16/100 =
  • $192

The total amount including both the principal and interest is:

  • $1200 + 192 =
  • $1392

Correct choice is D.
