Answer

I (Interest) = $1,440.60

Explanation:

First, converting R (rate) percent to r a decimal r = R/100 = 2.94%/100 = 0.0294 per year, then, solving our equation.

I = 7000 x 0.0294 x 7 = 1440.6
I = $1,440.60

The simple interest accumulated on a principal of $7,000.00 at a rate of 2.94% per year for 7 years is $1,440.60.
