Explanation:

Richard deposited $5,500 for 18 months on a 2.40% interest rate in his savings account. How much simple interest will he earn?

Simple interest is calculated using the formula.

I = P x R x T

I= interest,

P= principal amount,

R = interest rate,

T = time in years

Richard will earn

I =$5500 x 2.40% x 1.5 years

I = $5500 x 0.024 x 1.5

I= $132 x 1.5

I= $198

Interest = $198

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.

the correct answer is d. wealthy colonists to take care of the less fortunate. hope this
