5.25% turns into 0.0525.  Then, you multiply 0.0525 and 1,000 together. This equals 52.50. So, you would earn $52.50 at the end of the month in interest.

Answer:

The interest earned at the end of the month is $52.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Principle = $1000

Rate of interest = 5.25% per month.

\(\frac{5.25}{100} = 0.0525\)

Now we have to find the interest earned end of the month.

We can use the following formula.

Interest = prt    where p is the principle, r is the rate and t is the time.

= 10000.0525 1

= $52.50

The interest earned at the end of the month is $52.50
