Problem

Points: 0 of 1 Save Determine the simple interest. (The rate is an annual rate unless otherwise stated. Assume 360 days in one year.) \[ \mathrm{p}=\$ 575, \mathrm{r}=8.25 \%, \mathrm{t}=30 \text { days } \] The simple interest is $\$ \square$. (Fुound to the nearest cent as needed.)

Solution

Step 1 :Given that the principal amount (P) is $575, the rate of interest (R) is 8.25% or 0.0825 in decimal form, and the time (T) is 30 days or 0.08333 in years (assuming 360 days in a year).

Step 2 :The formula for simple interest is given by \(I = PRT\), where I is the interest.

Step 3 :Substitute the given values into the formula to find the interest: \(I = 575 * 0.0825 * 0.08333\).

Step 4 :Calculate the above expression to find the value of I.

Step 5 :\(I = 3.953125\)

Step 6 :Round the final answer to the nearest cent.

Step 7 :\(\boxed{\$3.95}\) is the simple interest.
