Determine the simple interest. (The rate is an annual rate unless otherwise stated. Assume 360 days in one year.)
p= $375, r = 9.5%, t = 60 days

The simple interest is $ ____
(Round to the nearest cent as needed.)

Determine the simple interest The rate is an annual rate unless otherwise stated Assume 360 days in one year p 375 r 95 t 60 days The simple interest is Round t class=

Respuesta :

if there are 360 days in 1 year, then 60 days is 60/360 = 1/6 of a year.
