Miguel invests some money in a new company. What is the simple interest Miguel will earn on the money if he gave $5,000 at an annual interest rate of 4.5% for 7 years? (Use the formula ๐ผ = ๐๐๐ก, where ๐ผ is the interest, ๐ is the principal or initial investment, ๐ is the interest rate per year, and ๐ก is the number of years.)
The formula for simple interest is ๐ผ = ๐๐๐ก, where ๐ผ is the interest, ๐ is the principal or initial investment, ๐ is the interest rate per year, and ๐ก is the number of years.
Substituting the given values into the formula, we have:
๐ผ = 5000 x 0.045 x 7
๐ผ = 1575
Therefore, the simple interest Miguel will earn on the money is $1,575.
