    Lynne loaned $480 to a friend.  The friend paid back the amount borrowed plus 10% interest.  What was the total amount the friend paid to Lynne?

    • $ 480.10

    • $ 484.80

    Correct Answer
    A. $ 528.00
    Explanation
    Lynne loaned $480 to her friend. The friend paid back the amount borrowed plus 10% interest. To find the total amount the friend paid to Lynne, we need to calculate the interest. 10% of $480 is $48. Adding this to the original amount borrowed gives us $480 + $48 = $528. Therefore, the correct answer is $528.00.
