On June 1st, Elena Moore deposited $610 in a savings account at Metro Savings and Loan Association. At the end of November, her interest was computed at an annual interest rate of 4.5%. How much simple interest did her money earn?(Provide a step by step on how you solved it, along with the answer please).
Answer:
$2.26
Step-by-step explanation:
since we are using a simple interest rate, we must first determine the daily interest earned = 4.5% / 365 days = 0.0001232876
June has 30 days, so we just multiply the daily interest rate by 30 and then multiply again times $610 (account balance)
total interest earned = 0.0001232876 per day x 30 days x $610 = $2.26
