Answer :
Let's match the definitions and formulas to the correct interest type.
1. Interest calculated once on the starting principal:
2. Total Interest [tex]$=$[/tex] Principal [tex]$\times$[/tex] APR (as a decimal) [tex]$\times$[/tex] Term of Loan:
3. Interest calculated multiple times over the course of a loan:
4. [tex]$ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t} $[/tex]:
These definitions and formulas correspond to Simple and Compound Interest as follows:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline Simple Interest & Compound Interest \\
\hline Interest calculated once on the starting principal & Interest calculated multiple times over the course of a loan \\
Total Interest [tex]$=$[/tex] Principal [tex]$\times$[/tex] APR (as a decimal) [tex]$\times$[/tex] Term of Loan & [tex]$ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t} $[/tex] \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
