Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Simple Interest = $50

Principal Amount= $500

Rate of Interest = 9.5%

Find:

Time=?

The formula for Simple Interest is

I=PRT

{I=Simple Interest

P=Principal amount

R=Rate of Interest

T=Time}

To find out the time for the simple interest to get to $50:

Acc. to the formula T=I/PR

i.e., T=50/(500*9.5/100)

T=100*50/500*9.5

T=100/95

T=1.05 years

Therefore, it will take 1.05 years to get a simple interest of $50 at a rate of 9.5% for a principal amount of $500.
