Aviva deposited some amount of money at a 4% annual interest rate into her bank account. The money was left in the account for 18 months, and she did not make any more deposits.

The amount of money that was deposited by Aviva into her bank account is $4,000.

Given the following data:

  • Interest rate = 4% = 0.04.
  • Simple interest = $240.
  • Time = 18 months.

Conversion:

12 months = 1 year.

18 months = 1.5 year.

To determine the amount of money that was deposited by Aviva into her bank account:

How to calculate simple interest.

Mathematically, simple interest is given by this formula:

[tex]I=PRT[/tex]

Where:

  • S.I is the simple interest.
  • P is the principal or starting amount.
  • R is the interest rate.
  • T is the time measured in years.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]240=P \times 0.04 \times 1.5\\\\240=0.06P\\\\P=\frac{240}{0.06}[/tex]

P = $4,000.
