Zybrea Knight · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :   The expression Prt calculates the interest earned on a principal amount P, at a rate r, over a time period t. Substituting the given values, we get   2400 × 0.04 × 8 = 768 2400 	imes 0.04 	imes 8 = 768 2400 × 0.04 × 8 = 768  .

Evaluate the algebraic expression Prt when $P = 2, 400$ , $r = 0.04$ , and $t = 8$ .

A) $76.8$
B) $768$
C) $7, 680$
D) $76, 800$
E) $768, 000$
