Answer: P = $1400

==================================================

Work Shown:

i = 28

r = 8% = 0.08

t = 3 months = (3/12) year = 0.25 year

-----------

i = P*r*t

28 = P*0.08*0.25

28 = P*0.02

P = 28/0.02

P = 1400

Side notes:

  • always use the decimal form of r
  • The value of t is in years because of the annual interest rate
