Answer:

Simple Interest over the given time interval will be $5.80

Explanation:

Principal Amount = $580

Rate of Interest = 2%

= 0.02

Time = 6 months

= 0.5 years

Now, Simple Interest is given by the formula :

Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Time

⇒ Simple Interest = 580 × 0.02 × 0.5

⇒ Simple Interest = $5.80

Thus, Simple Interest over the given time interval will be $5.80
