Howard deposited some money in the bank. How long will Howard have to leave $5000 in the bank to earn $250 in simple interest at 2%.

Respuesta :

Answer:

t = 2.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Principal = $5000

Interest = $250

Rate of interest = 2%

We need to find the time. We know that,

[tex]I=\dfrac{PRT}{100}[/tex]

Put all values to find T.

[tex]T=\dfrac{100I}{PR}\\\\T=\dfrac{100\times 250}{5000\times 2}\\\\T=2.5\ yrs[/tex]

So, it will take 2.5 years.
