Verified Answer :

Simple interest = PRT/100 = 1090 x 8 x 5 / 100 = $436

For this case, we will use the simple interest formula:

\(I = \frac {PRT} {100}\)

Where,

  • P: Initial amount
  • R: rate
  • T: time in years

Therefore, replacing values we have:

\(I = \frac {(1090) (8) (5)} {100}\\I = 436\)

Answer:

The simple interest is given by:

\(I = 436\) $
