Vincent borrowed $500 from mitchell for six months. how much interest will mitchell earn if he charges vincent a simple interest rate of 3 percent? . simple interest = p × r × t

Principal P = $500,  Rate = 3 % = 3/100 = 0.03  would assume per year,
Time t = 6 months = (6/12) year = 0.5 year.

Simple Interest, I = P*r*t
              
                             = 500*0.03*0.5 = 7.5

Simple interest = $7.50

Make use of the given equation for simple interest, I = P x r x t where I is the interest, P is the principal amount, r is the rate and t is time in years. Plug in to the equation the given values,
                            I = ($500) x 0.03 x 0.5 = $7.5
Thus, the simple interest is $7.5.

It says in the questions that it is 6.5?

Lol idk ask google. ejie
