Answer:

a. Simple interest, S.I = $2,625

b. Total amount = $12,625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Principal = $10,000

Interest rate = 10.5%

Time = 30 months to years = 2.5 years

a. To find the simple interest;

Mathematically, simple interest is calculated using this formula;

[tex] S.I = \frac {PRT}{100} [/tex]

Where;

  • S.I is simple interest.
  • P is the principal.
  • R is the interest rate.
  • T is the time.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] S.I = \frac {10000*10.5*2.5}{100} [/tex]

[tex] S.I = \frac {262500}{100} [/tex]

Simple interest, S.I = $2,625

b. To calculate the total amount Sonia would have to repay the bank;

Total amount = simple interest + principal

Total amount = 2625 + 10000

Total amount = $12,625
