Answer:

$ 1900

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting from the equation of simple interest, which is defined as follows:

I = P * r * t

Being I the interest, P the value of the product, r the interest rate and t would be time.

We want to know the price of the product, therefore, solving the equation we have:

P = I / r * t

We know each other's values so we replace:

P = 1026 / (0.135 * 4)

P = $ 1900 was the value of the refrigerator Jaime bought.
