To determine the balance in the account, we need to calculate
the interest earned using the simple interest formula:
Simple Interest=P×r×t\text{Simple Interest} = P \times r \times
tSimple Interest=P×r×t
where:
 PPP is the principal amount (R1,500)
 rrr is the annual interest rate (6.57% or 0.0657)
 ttt is the time in years (16 months or 1612\frac{16}
{12}1216 years)
First, calculate the time in years:
t=1612=1.3333 yearst = \frac{16}{12} = 1.3333 \
text{ years}t=1216=1.3333 years
Next, calculate the simple interest:

, Simple Interest=1500×0.0657×1.3333\text{Simple Interest} =
1500 \times 0.0657 \times
1.3333Simple Interest=1500×0.0657×1.3333
Simple Interest≈1500×0.0657×1.3333\text{Simple Interest} \
approx 1500 \times 0.0657 \times
1.3333Simple Interest≈1500×0.0657×1.3333
Simple Interest≈131.40\text{Simple Interest} \approx
131.40Simple Interest≈131.40
Add the interest to the principal to find the total balance:
Total Balance=1500+131.40=1631.40\text{Total Balance} = 1500
+ 131.40 = 1631.40Total Balance=1500+131.40=1631.40
So, the correct answer is:
c. R1 631,40
