Answer:

$262.5

Explanation:

Hello

I repay the amount my friend lent me + interest=$250+ x

the interest is found using a rule of three

$250 ⇒100%

$ x ⇒ 5%

x=($250*5%)/100 %

x=$ 12.5

I have to pay

$250+x

$250+$12.5=$262.5

ANSWER $262.5

note: Interest I that produces capital is directly proportional to the initial capital C,

I hope it helps.

have a great day.
