Caitlin borrowed a certain amount of money for 9 years at an annual simple interest rate of 4.5%. if the maturity value on the loan was $4,560, how much did she borrow?
Principle + Simple Interest = Maturity Value
let Principle be X
X + (X*0.045 * 9 ) = 4560
X + 0.405X = 4560
1.405 X = 4560
X = 4560 / 1.405
X = 3245.55
Loan Amount is $3245.55
