Answer by chitra(359)  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It is given that Paul invested $5000 for one year at the rate of 6.5%
So here,
Amount = $5000
Rate = 6.5 % = 0.065
Time = 1 yr
So, to calculate the interest, we use the formula for Simple Interest(SI).
SI = (P * T * R)/100
SI = (5000 * 1 * 6.5)/ 100
SI = (5000 * 1 * 0.065)
SI = 325.0
==> SI = $ 325
This shows that he earned an interest of $ 325 in a span of one year for the amount $5000 he deposited at the rate of 6.5 %
Hence, the solution.
