Answer 1

$~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned} \\\\ I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\dotfill & \ 237.90\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \ 1525\\ r=rate\to 2.6\%\to \frac{2.6}{100}\dotfill &0.026\\ t=years \end{cases} \\\\\\ 237.90 = (1525)(0.026)(t)\implies \cfrac{237.90}{(1525)(0.026)}=t \implies 6=t$
