              rate of interest ,r = 2.25%

              time , t = 8 years

So, the total interest she have to pay is , I =

                                                                  =

                                                                  = 4320

Therefore, total payable amount after 8 years is equal to the principle together with the total interest.

i.e. A= P+I

       = 24000+4320
