Q. Oliver has 60\text{₹}60 in a savings account that earns 10%10\% interest per year. The interest is not compounded. How much interest will he earn in 44 years? \newlineUse the formula i=prti = prt, where ii is the interest earned, pp is the principal (starting amount), rr is the interest rate expressed as a decimal, and tt is the time in years.
  1. Identify values: Identify the principal amount, interest rate, and time.\newlinePrincipal pp = ₹6060\newlineInterest rate rr = 10%10\% per year\newlineTime tt = 44 years\newlineConvert the interest rate from a percentage to a decimal for the calculation.\newliner=10%=10100=0.10r = 10\% = \frac{10}{100} = 0.10
  2. Convert interest rate: Use the formula i=prti = prt to calculate the interest.\newlinei=p×r×ti = p \times r \times t\newlinei=60×0.10×4i = 60 \times 0.10 \times 4
  3. Calculate interest: Perform the multiplication to find the interest.\newlinei=60×0.10×4i = 60 \times 0.10 \times 4\newlinei=60×0.4i = 60 \times 0.4\newlinei=24i = \text{₹}24
