You earn $12.10 in interest in 6 months

Answer:

$12.10

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that $550 in an account that earns 4.4% simple interest per year .

We have to calculate value of interest your earn in 6 months

Principle amount=P=$550

Rate of interest =4.4%

Time= 1 year

Using simple interest formula

@@MATH_TOKEN_0@@

Where P= Principle amount

r=Rate of interest

t= times in years

Substitute the values in given formula then we get

S.I=@@MATH_TOKEN_1@@

S.I=$24.20

Now, time =6 months=\(\frac{6}{12}=\frac{1}{2} year\)

S. I earn in one year =$24.20

S.I earn  in half year =\(\frac{1}{2}\times 24.20=$12.10\)
