What is interest?

Interest refers to money that is received in an investment or a loan. It is always a percentage of the principal sum.

For the first investment;

I = PRT/100 = $3,000 × 2.7  × 3/100 = $243

For the second investment;

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = 5000(1 + 0.018)^3

A = $5275

I = $5275 - $5000 = $275

For the third investment

A = 5,000(1 + 0.00975)^(4 × 3)

A = $5617

I = $5617 - $5,000 = $617

Total interest = $617 + $275 + $243 = $1,135. 30
