6.5% of 1,550 = 1,550 * .065 = 100.75 per year
100.75 * T years = 302.25
T = 302.25/100.75 = 3 years answer B
OpenStudy (welshfella):
each year he earns $ 1550 * 6.5/100
work this out then divide it into 302.25 to get t.

the simple interest formula is
I = Prt
i= Interest
P=principal
R= rate
t = time just plug and solve for the missing piece
