.

First, calculate the number of days " d " from 6 March 2012 to 19 May 2012.

Remember that Match has 31 day, while April has 30 days.

After that, use the formula I = for the simple interest.

I use the number 366 here, because the year 2012 is a leap year.

I hope these instructions are enough for you to complete the rest on your own.

Happy calculations (!)

It is divisible by 4 . So it is a leap year 366 days
years = 75/366
I = 14600*0.07*(75/366) =209.43 Niara
