The principal vaue is P = 3000.
The rate for simple interest is r = 8.9%.
The time is t = 3.
The formula for the simple interest is,
[tex]SI=\frac{P\cdot r\cdot t}{100}[/tex]Determine the simple interest earned by Sid.
[tex]\begin{gathered} SI=\frac{3000\cdot3\cdot8.9}{100} \\ =801 \end{gathered}[/tex]So Sid earned $801 from the interest.
