Answer:

[tex]\$17.50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

[tex]I=P(rt)[/tex]

where

I is the Final Interest to pay

P is the amount of money borrowed

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

[tex]t=\frac{14}{12}\ years\\ P=\$500\\r=3\%=3/100=0.03[/tex]

substitute in the formula above

[tex]I=500(0.03)(\frac{14}{12})[/tex]

[tex]I=\$17.50[/tex]

17.5
