Given:

Savings = $50

Interest rate for one year = 6%

Find the interest earn after the end of the year.

Solution:

Change 6% into decimal form, by dividing it with 100. Then multiply the answer by 50 since the total savings is 50$, in order to get the simple interest earned after the end of the year.

= 6/ 100

= 0.06

=(0.06)(50)

=$3

The interest after the end of the year is $3.
