Answer: $130
=======================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming the bank is using simple interest (instead of compound interest).
If so, then,
i = P*r*t
i = 8000*0.0325*0.5
i = 130
The amount of interest is $130
In the formula above, I used
- P = 8000 = amount deposited
- r = 0.0325 = annual interest rate in decimal form
- t = 6/12 = 0.5 years, which means you don't use t = 6. We don't use t = 6 because the interest rate is on an annual basis, and not a 6-month basis.
