116.00

1160.00

11,600 00

The amount of interest earned is US$ 160 and none of the alternatives is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the formula for calculating the interest in a simple interest problem, this way:

Interest earned = (Principal * Interest rate * time in years)

Replacing with the real values, we have:

Interest earned = (100 * 0.08 * 20)

Interest earned = 160

The amount of interest earned is US$ 160 and none of the alternatives is correct.
