Question: If a person invests $1000 at a rate of 5% per annum for 3 years, what will be the total amount at the end of the period using simple interest?
Options:
Correct Answer: $1150
Solution:
Simple Interest = Principal * Rate * Time = 1000 * 0.05 * 3 = $150. Total Amount = Principal + Interest = 1000 + 150 = $1150.
