I = Prt Always remember this. It si the essence fo Simple Interest. We have P = 5000 I = (5000)rt We ahve r = 0.085 I = (5000)(0.085)t We have t = 120 days. This is a little bit of a problem. Different things use different numbers of days for a total year. Let;s just use 365 days for a full year. I = (5000)(0.085)(120/365)

The interest figure always means the interest for a year.

120 days is 1/3 of a year, so you'll only earn 1/3 of 6.5% .

6.5% = 0.065

1/3 of that is 0.02167 .

(0.02167) x (7,000) = 151.67
