In the first case :
The principle amount is $ 2200 (P)
The rate of interest. is 4% (R)
The no. Of years. is 1yr (T)
Formula for calculating S.I is PTR/100
= 2200*4*1/100
= $ 88
Similarly in the second case :
P is $ 2800
R is 5%
T is 1 yr
Hence S.I is 2800*5*1/100
= $ 140
The total interest gained by him will be $88 + $ 140 = $ 228
* hope u got the answer!!
