A) $21,250.00
B) $2,125.00
C) $212.50
D) $21.25

Respuesta :

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Principal amount (P)= $2500

Rate of simple annual interest (R) = 8.5%

Number of years (T)= 10

As we know the formula for "Simple Interest ":

[tex]Interest=\frac{P\times R\times T}{100}\\\\Interest=\frac{2500\times 8.5\times 10}{100}\\\\Interest=\$2125.00[/tex]

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
