The formula to calculate the simple interest is given to be:


I=(PRT)/(100)

where I is the simple interest, P is the principal, R is the rate, and T is the time in years.

From the question, we have the following parameters:


\begin{gathered} P=2000 \\ R=12.25 \\ T=(3)/(12) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the interest is calculated to be:


\begin{gathered} I=(2000*12.25*3)/(100*12) \\ I=61.25 \end{gathered}

The simple interest is 61.25.
