Given:

Principal P (Initial amount) =$5100

Rate(R)= 2.75

Time(t) = 16 months = 16/12 ( In years)

We can proceed to calculate the interest using the formula below:


S\mathrm{}I=(P* R* T)/(100)
=(5100*2.75*(16)/(12))/(100)


=(5100*2.75*16)/(100*12)
=\text{ \$187}

The amount he has for the investement = 5100 + 187 = $5287
