Answer: 487.5
Explanation:
Formula for Simple interest is
S.I = (P×R×T)/ 100
so, we are given with
P = 1500 ; R = 5% ;
T = 2 years 6 months
*here we need to convert 6 months in to years
so,
6 months = 1/2 year
T = 6 year + 1/2 year = 13/2 years
Now putting these values in formula
We get;
S.I = (1500×5× 13/2) / 100
Ans : 487.5
