suppose you deposit $2,475 in a savings account that earns 6.25% simple interest per year. How much simple interest would be earned in 9 months when time is measured in years

Respuesta :

$116.02 interest will be earned in 9 months

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is given by:

[tex]I = Prt[/tex]

Here

P is the initial amount

r is the interest

t is the time measured in years

Given

P = $2475

r = 6.25% = [tex]\frac{6.25}{100} = 0.0625[/tex]

t = 9 months

Converting time into year by dividing by 12

[tex]t = \frac{9}{12}\ years = 0.75\ year[/tex]

Putting the values in the formula

[tex]I = 2475 * 0.0625 * 0.75\\I = 116.0156[/tex]

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

I = $116.02

Hence,

$116.02 interest will be earned in 9 months
