simple interest = $1092

Total amount = $6292

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal = $5200

rate = 3% = 0.03

time = 7 years

Applying simple interest formula:


\begin{gathered} I\text{ = PRT} \\ \text{where I = interest} \\ I\text{ = P}* R* T \end{gathered}

I = 5200 × 0.03 ×7

I = $1092

simple interest = $1092

We are to find total amount after getting the interest:

Amount = principal + interest

Amount = $5200 + $1092

Amount = $6292
