Amir invests $4,000 in a 5-year cd paying 3.5% interest. How much interest will he make on the cd in 5 years? The simple interest formula is I=prt.

Answer: $700

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the rate into a decimal

r = R/100 = 3.5%/100 = 0.035 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 4000 * 0.035 * 5 = 700

I = $ 700.00
