The principal $P$ is borrowed at a simple interest rate r for a period of time t . Find the loan's future value A , or the total amount due at time $t$.
\[
P=\$ 7000, r=6 \%, t=6 \text { years }
\]

Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Convert the Annual Interest Rate to a Decimal
To convert the annual interest rate from a percentage to a decimal, we divide it by 100. Thus, \(r = 6 / 100 = 0.06\).
Step 2: Calculate the Future Value
Using the formula \(A = P(1 + rt)\), where \(P = 7000\), \(r = 0.06\), and \(t = 6\), we calculate the future value.
Substitute the values into the formula: \(A = 7000(1 + 0.06 \times 6)\).
Final Answer:
The future value \(A\) after 6 years at an annual interest rate of 6% is approximately 9520.
