Answer:

$18,750 is the amount sanctuary need to pay back in total after 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal Amount = $12,500

Rate of Interest  = 5%

Time Period  = 10 years

SIMPLE INTEREST = [tex]\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}[/tex]

So, here the SI  = [tex]\frac{12,500 \times 5 \times 10}{100}   =6,250[/tex]

or the simple interest on P = $6,250

Now,   Amount = Principal + Simple Interest

                            = $12,500 + $6,250  =  $18,750

Hence, $18,750 is the amount sanctuary need to pay back in total after 10 years.
