6.1: Simple Interest

---

The Problem

You borrowed $5000 for 2 years with 2% interest per year. Calculate the simple interest to know how much you have to pay?

Hint

Just take amount, duration and interest rate.

You have to multiply these three. And, don’t forget: you have to convert percent to a fraction by dividing it by 100.

The Solution

principle=int(input("Money you borrowed: ")) interest_rate=float(input("Interest Rate: ")) time=float(input("Overall Duration: ")) # Calculates simple interestsimple_interest=principle* (interest_rate/100) *timeprint("Simple interest is:", simple_interest)
