Find the simple interest. Use I = Prt.

How to solve

Simple interest is I = P × r × t: the principal (the amount borrowed or saved), times the yearly rate as a decimal, times the time in years. $500 at 4% for 3 years: I = 500 × 0.04 × 3 = $60. Time in months must be changed to years first: 18 months = 1.5 years.
