Answer:

$24,992

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for simple interest is I = PRT where I is the interest earned, P is the principal deposited/borrowed, R is the rate as a decimal, and T is time in years.

I = (17,600)(0.084)(5)

I = 7,392

The total amount that must be repaid is the interest + the principal:

7,392 + 17,600 = 24,992
