Ida wants to buy a car, but she currently does not have any money. The car she wants costs $\$2500$. Consider her two options and decide which loan she should take.  

1. She could borrow $\$2500$ at a monthly interest rate of $4\%$ simple interest and pay the total after $12$ months. Write a simple-interest expression and calculate what she would owe at the end of $12$ months. 

   Hint (a):

   Use the equation for simple interest from the Math Notes box in this lesson.
   $\text{Interest}=\textit{Prt}$ where:
   $P=\text{Principal}$
   $r=\text{rate}$
   $t=\text{time}$

   More Help (a):

   $\text{Interest}=(\$2500)(0.04)(12\ \text{months})$
   $(\$2500)(0.04)=\$100$ dollars per month in interest
   $(\$100)(12\ \text{months})=\$1200$ interest over $12$ months

   How much total money does Ida owe under this option if her borrowed amount is $\$2500$ and her interest would be $\$1200$?

2. She could borrow $\$2500$ at a weekly interest rate of $1\%$ simple interest and pay the total after $12$ months. Show calculations and a written explanation to justify your answer.

   Hint (b):

   Use the same interest formula from part (a).
   $\text{Interest}=\left(\text{principal}\right)\left(\text{interest rate}\right)\left(\text{weeks in a year}\right)$

   More Help (b):

   There are $52$ weeks in a year.

   Answer (b):

   Ida owes $\$3800$ with this option. Be sure to show how to get this answer and explain which one of the two loan options is better and why.
