`~~~~~~ \stackrel{\textit{\LARGE Henry}}{\textit{Simple Interest Earned}} \\\\ I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$5000\\ r=rate\to 4.2\%\to (4.2)/(100)\dotfill &0.042\\ t=years\dotfill &4 \end{cases} \\\\\\ I = (5000)(0.042)(4) \implies I = 840 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~~~~~~ \stackrel{\textit{\LARGE Ingrid}}{\textit{Simple Interest Earned}}`

`I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$5000\\ r=rate\to 3.9\%\to (3.9)/(100)\dotfill &0.039\\ t=years\dotfill &6 \end{cases} \\\\\\ I = (5000)(0.039)(6) \implies I = 1170 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ 1170~~ - ~~840\implies \text{\LARGE 330}`
