Answer:

  • AED 3000

Explanation:

Let the invested amount is x

  • Interest rate is r = 5% simple = 0.05 times
  • Time is t = 3 years
  • Interest amount I = AED. 450

Using the interest formula and solving for x:

  • P*r*t = I
  • x*0.05*3 = 450
  • 0.15x = 450
  • x = 450/0.15
  • x = 3000

The amount invested is AED 3000
