Answer:

The amount of interest earned after a year is $32.25

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount of interest generated by depositing a sum into an account.

To calculate the interest earned, we use the simple interest formula.

Mathematically;

I = PRT/100

where I is the interest earned

R is the rate which is 6.25% according to the question

T is the time taken which is 1 year

P is the amount of money deposited also know. as the principal which is $516

Plugging these values we have

I = (516 * 6.25 * 1)/100 = $32.25
