Answer:

<em>Correct choice: C. $320</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Simple Interest</u>

Definition: Interest calculated on the original principal only of a loan or on the balance of an account.

Unlike compound interest where the interest earned in the compounding periods is added to the new principal, simple interest only considers the principal to calculate the interest.

The interest earned is calculated as follows:

I=P.r.t

Where:

I = Interest

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

t = time

Marving is saving money in a savings account with a simple interest rate of r=7.5%=0.075. It's known that after t=12 years, the account had earned $288 interest. Substituting in the formula:

288 = P*0.075*12

Calculating:

288 = 0.9P

Dividing by 0.9:

P = $320

Correct choice: C. $320

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter of the circle is 4 inches so its radius r is 2 inches. The area of the circle is

$A = \pi r^2 = \pi(2\:\text{in})^2 = 12.57\:\text{in}^2$
