  2. Title: Calculate Simple Interest Example in C
  3. Name: Kevin Perry
  4. Description:
  5. This formula and example was taken from the about.com Mathematics web site, which
  6. has lots of useful information and formulas.
  7. URL: http://m...content-available-to-author-only...t.com/od/businessmath/ss/Interest.htm
  8. The amount of interest can be calculated by using the formula: I = Prt
  9. - where P is the principle, r is the rate, and t is the time of the investment
  10. As an example, say we had to borrow or invest an amount of $4500. The bank gives us
  11. an interest rate of 9.5% over a period of 6 years. So, let's plug in the values, and we get:
  12. I = (4500) (0.095) * (6)
  13. I = $2565.00
