Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the simple interest formula which is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P = principal or amount borrowed

T = time in years

R = interest rate on amount borrowed.

I = interest paid.

From the given information,

Principal = $3000

T = 3 months = 3/12 = 0.25 years

R = 6 1/2 % = 6.5%

Therefore,

a) the amount that the woman pay for the use of the money is I

I = (3000 * 6.5 * 0.25) / 100 = 48.75

b) The amount she repaid to the bank on the due date of the note would be

Principal + interest

= 3000 + 48.75 = $3048.75
