The simple interest formula is I = Prt, where I represents simple interest on an amount, P, for t years at a rate of r. The equation solved for P is P = . What is the amount of money, P, that will generate $40 in interest at a 10% interest rate over 5 years? $60 $80 $90 $100

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

[tex]I=Prt[/tex]

where

I represents simple interest

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

[tex]t=5\ years\\ P=?\\ I=\$40\\r=0.10[/tex]

[tex]I=Prt[/tex]

Solve for P

[tex]P=I/(rt)[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]P=40/(0.10*5)=\$80[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex]\$80[/tex]
