In Common Core Math Six during 1, 3, and 4°, students practiced and worked with Lesson 6.6: Simple Interest.  This lesson used the formula I = P * r * t to help solve problems similar to the one below.

Harry deposits $45,000 into a saving account.  After one year,
4 months, and 20 days it totals $52,500.  Calculate the simple
interest rate for this account.

During 2°, students reviewed material from Lessons 5.1 through Lesson 5.4 in preparation for tomorrow's Chapter Five Midpoint Quiz.
