What is simple interest?

Simple interest is a method to calculate the amount of interest charged on a sum at a given rate and for a given period of time.

simple interest I is calculated as P×R×T/100

where P is the principal, R is the rate and T is time. To get the total amount A after a specific period A= P+I

I = $( 20900-6500)

=$ 14400

14400= 6500×8×t/100

therefore t= (14400×100)/(6500×8)

t= 27.69years( nearest tenth)
