To determine the balance in the account after 16 months with a
simple interest rate of 6.57%, we can use the simple interest
formula:
A=P(1+rt)A = P(1 + rt)A=P(1+rt)
where:
AAA is the amount in the account after time ttt.
PPP is the principal amount (initial investment), which is
R1,500.
rrr is the annual interest rate (in decimal form), which is
6.57% or 0.0657.
ttt is the time the money is invested for, in years.
Since the time is given in months, we need to convert 16
months to years: t=1612=43 yearst = \frac{16}{12} = \frac{4}
{3} \text{ years}t=1216=34 years
, Now we can plug the values into the formula:
A=1500(1+0.0657×43)A = 1500 \left(1 + 0.0657 \times \frac{4}
{3}\right)A=1500(1+0.0657×34)
First, calculate the interest rate multiplied by time:
0.0657×43=0.0657×1.3333=0.08760.0657 \times \frac{4}{3} =
0.0657 \times 1.3333 = 0.08760.0657×34
=0.0657×1.3333=0.0876
Then, add 1 to this value: 1+0.0876=1.08761 + 0.0876 =
1.08761+0.0876=1.0876
Finally, multiply by the principal amount:
A=1500×1.0876=1631.40A = 1500 \times 1.0876 =
1631.40A=1500×1.0876=1631.40
So, the balance in the account 16 months later is: R1,631.40\
boxed{R1,631.40}R1,631.40
The correct answer is c. R1 631,40.
