1. **State the problem:** Rachel loaned Adam 8510 at an interest rate of 13% for 2 years. We need to find how much Adam will pay at the end of 2 years.
2. **Formula for simple interest:**
$$I = P \times r \times t$$
where $I$ is the interest, $P$ is the principal amount, $r$ is the annual interest rate (in decimal), and $t$ is the time in years.
3. **Calculate the interest:**
$$I = 8510 \times 0.13 \times 2$$
$$I = 8510 \times 0.26$$
$$I = 2212.60$$
4. **Calculate the total amount to be paid:**
$$A = P + I$$
$$A = 8510 + 2212.60$$
$$A = 10722.60$$
5. **Answer:** Adam will pay **10722.60** at the end of 2 years.
