Answer:

$3984.83.

Step-by-step explanation:


Simple\: Interest=(Principal* Rate* Time)/(100)

In this particular case:

• The principal/loan amount = $33,486.

,

• Rate = 2.38%.

,

• Time = 5 years.

Substituting these into the formula above:


\begin{gathered} Simple\: Interest=(33,486*2.38*5)/(100) \\ =\$3984.83 \end{gathered}

Jayden's simple interest is $3984.83.
