How many days will it take for a sum of $1300 to earn $16 interest if it is deposited in a bank paying simple interest at the rate of 4%/year?

The formula is
I=prt
I interest earned 16
P principle 1300
R interest rate 0.04
T time t/365days
16=1300×0.04×(t/365)
Solve for t
T=(16÷(1,300×0.04))×365
T=112.3 days round your answer to get 112 days

Hope it helps!
