Respuesta :
we are given
Philip Amherst has $600 in his savings account
so, principal amount is $600
so, we get
[tex] P=600 [/tex]
interest rate is 5 3/4 %
so,
r =5.75%
time is 12 months
Since, interest is annually
so, we can change time in years
[tex] t=\frac{12}{12} year [/tex]
[tex] t=1 year [/tex]
now, we can find simple interest
we can use formula
[tex] SI=\frac{P*r*t}{100} [/tex]
now, we can plug values
[tex] SI=\frac{600*5.75*1}{100} [/tex]
[tex] SI=34.5 [/tex]
so,
the amount of interest after 12 months is $34.5..........Answer
