    the answer is B $4,000

    Step-by-step explanation: Apply the formula I = Prt, where I is interest, P is principle, r is rate, and t is time.

    I = 20,000 (

    5.2

    100

    ) (10) = 20,000 (0.052) (10) = 10,400

    I = 20,000 (

    4.8

    100

    ) (15) = 20,000 (0.048) (15) = 14,400

    Therefore, 14,400 - 10,400 = 4,000

    Answer: B) $4,000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

    I = PRT/100

    Where

    I represents interest paid on the loan.

    P represents the principal or amount taken as loan

    R represents interest rate

    T represents the duration of the loan in years.

    Considering Cathy's loan,

    P = $20,000

    R = 5.2%

    T = 10 years

    I = (20000 * 5.2 * 10) / 100

    I = $10400

    Considering Steven's loan,

    P = $20,000

    R = 4.8%

    T = 15 years

    I = (20000 * 4.8 * 15) / 100

    I = $14400

    The difference between the amounts of interest Cathy and Steven paid for their loans is

    14400 - 10400 = $4000
