Question

Florence deposited ₱ 14,800 in a bank that gives 4.35% simple interest. after 2years 4months, she went back to the bank to check her balance. how much was available in her account?​

Answer 1

₱ 16,300.054

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating simple interest is as below.

I= p x r x t

In this case, p= 14,800, r = 4.35% and t is 2 years and 4 months

the interest rate is in years; we need to convert two years and four months to years.

=4 months = 4/12 of one year = 0.33

2 years 4 months = 2.33 year

I= 14,800 x 4.35/100 x 2.33

I= 14,800 x 0.0435 x 2.33

I=1,500.054

the amount in the bank will be principal plus interest

=14,800 + 1500

=16,300.054
