Respuesta :

Answer:

$30848.75 cause it already rounded to the nearest penny

Explanation:

First have to find the interest.

Interest = principal * rate * time

Principal ( money borrowed) = $29000

Rate =8.5% or [tex]\frac{8.5}{100}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{85}{1000}[/tex]

Time = 9 months which in this case will be [tex]\frac{9}{12}[/tex] years since the time is calculated in years.

Interest = [tex]\frac{29000 * 85 * 9}{1000 * 12}[/tex]

             = [tex]\frac{29 * 85 * 3}{4}[/tex]

             = [tex]\frac{7395}{4}[/tex]

             = $1848.75

Now to find the amount Wet Dog will pay you have to add the interest to the Principal.

Amount = $29000 +$ 1848.75

              = $30848.75
