To find the interest, you need to divide 140/4000
If you do that you will get 0.035 percent interest.

I hope this helped?

This is obviously B, you can get the answer through guess and check with a calculator or just take everything out that makes no sense at all like D and A and then figure out your final answer with the last 2 that make sense
