Find the simple interest on $900 for 18 months at a rate of 9.5% per year
Anestetic [448]
To get the simple interest, we must use the formula: I= (p)(r )( t)
So, in this one we need to multiply $900x18x9.% and the answer will be  $128.25. This is the amount of interest they are going to pay per year.
