This document outlines an extended homework task on simple interest that is broken into three sections. Section A requires students to research the simple interest formula and how to use it. Section B consists of answering 10 questions using the simple interest formulas. Section C involves explaining the importance of interest rates for saving and borrowing, presenting recommendations with mathematical examples in a digital format. The document provides references for creating bibliographies and details a marking rubric for the different sections.

1. Extended Homework Task – Simple interest
Welcome to your next extended homework task :)
During this task you are going to learn how to use simple interest
which is sometimes used when borrowing or investing money.
Your project will be broken down into three different sections, as
follows:
Section A – researching the simple interest formula and how to use
it. You need to ensure you reference the sources you use, see

Section B – answering 10 questions that will demonstrate that you
are able to use and apply the formulas.
Section C – You are going to try and explain what is important about
interest rates when you are saving and what is important about
interest rates when you are borrowing. Please use Mathematical

examples to demonstrate your recommendations. You need to
present section C as a guide to investors, it can be in any digital
format you choose.
Section A
In section A you need to research Simple Interest. You can use
some of the links supplied on D2L, but to get the higher marks, you
need to find some of your own. You need to reference the resources
you look at, see
