Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula for calculating simple interest
SI = principal × rate × time/100
Given
Principal = $8750
Rate = 9.75%
Time = 2years
Substitute
Interest = 8750×9.75×2/100
Interest = 87.59×19.5
Interest = 1,706.25
Hence the finance charge to the nearest whole dollar is $1706
