Given:

Principal amount, P = $640

Time, T = 2 years

Interest rate, R = 3%

Let's find the simple interest.

To find the simple interest, apply the Simple Interest formula:


I=(P\ast R\ast T)/(100)

Substitute values into the formula:


\begin{gathered} I=(640\ast3\ast2)/(100) \\ \\ I=(3840)/(100) \\ \\ I=38.40 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the simple interest to the nearest cent is $38.40

ANSWER:

$38.40
