Answer:

Correct answer is C) $14.200.39

Explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

I = Prt

P = I / (rt)

where

I is the amount of money in interest

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

t = 9 years  

I = $5,896

P = ?

r = 0.0692

substitute in the formula above  

P = 5,896/ (0.0692 ÷ 6) = $14,200.39

therefore

the answer is option C)

$14,200.39
