Answer 1

The money was in the account for 4 years

Explanation:

Bonita deposited money = $1300

Rate of interest = 5.75%

She earned interest = $299

P = Principal = $1300

R = 5.75%

Simple Interest = 299

T= Time

`SI=(P * T * R)/(100)\\\\299=(1300 * T * 5.75)/(100)\\\\(299 * 100)/(1300 * 5.75) = T\\\\4 years =T`

Hence The money was in the account for 4 years
