Answer:

$450

Explanation:

To calculate simple interest, we apply the formula

I= P x r x t

Where I = interest

P= principal

r= interest rate

t= time in years

In this case, p=$8,000, r= 7.50% or 0.075, t= 9 months or 9/12 years which is 0.75 years

I =$8000 x 0.075 x 0.75

I= $600 x 0.75

I=$450

Interest is  $450
