The simple intrest I on an investment of P dollars at an intrest rate r for t years is given by I=prt. Find the time it would take to earn 1400 in intrerst on an investment of 27,000 at a rate of 4.2persent

Answer:

Therefore time = 1.23 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula of simple interest:

[tex]I=Prt[/tex]

[tex]I[/tex]= interest in dollar

P= Principal in dollar

r= rate of interest

t= time in years

Given that,

[tex]I[/tex]= $1,400 , P=$27,000 , r=4.2%= 0.042 and t = ?

[tex]I=Prt[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow t=\frac{I}{Pr}[/tex]

Putting the value of P, [tex]I[/tex] and r

[tex]\Rightarrow t=\frac{1400}{27000\times 0.042}[/tex]

     [tex]\approx 1.23[/tex] years

Therefore time = 1.23 years.
