Question

Francois deposits $350.00 in a savings account. The account pays an annual interest rate of 4.3%. He makes no other deposits or withdrawals. After 3 months, the interest is calculated. How much simple interest did his money earn?

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.7625

Explanation:

Simple interest is calculated as

Interest = P x r x t

Where

p = principal amount.. $350

r= interest rate: 4.3% or 0.043

t= time in years: 3 months or 3/12 =0.25 years

Interest = $350 x 0.043 x 0.25

=$3.7625
