Solution 1

To calculate the interest accrued on a sum of money, you can use the formula for simple interest which is I = PRT, where:

  • I is the interest
  • P is the principal amount (the initial amount of money)
  • R is the rate of interest per period
  • T is the time the money is invested for

Given in the problem, we have:

  • P = $6,400
  • R = 6% or 0.06 (you need to convert the percentage into a decimal)
  • T = 75/360 years (since we're using a 360-day year and the money is invested for 75 days)

Now, plug these values into the formula:

I = PRT I = $6,400 * 0.06 * (75/360)

Calculate the above expression to find the interest. The correct answer will be the one that matches this calculation.

Solution 2

To calculate the interest accrued on a sum of money, you can use the formula:

Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

In this case:

Principal (P) = $6,400 Rate (R) = 6% per year = 0.06 (in decimal form) Time (T) = 75 days = 75/360 years (since we're using a 360-day year)

So, the interest (I) can be calculated as follows:

I = PRT I = 6,400x0.06x(75/360)I=6,400 x 0.06 x (75/360) I = 80

So, the interest accrued on 6,400at66,400 at 6% for 75 days is 80.
