For an initial ammount borrowed I, an term of the loan t, and an annual interest rate r, the simple interest S due on the loan is given by:
[tex]S=I\cdot r\cdot\frac{t}{365}[/tex]For I = $12000, r = 0.065 and t = 150 days, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} S=12000\cdot0.065\cdot\frac{150}{365} \\ S=12000\cdot0.065\cdot0.41096 \\ S=\text{ \$320.55} \end{gathered}[/tex]
