Given:

P= $ 25500

R=6.1 %

T=8 1/2

Consider

The formula for finding amount with simple interest is

[tex]A=p(1+rt)[/tex]

Substitute p=255500, r=6.1/100 and t=8.5, we get

[tex]A=25500(1+\frac{6.1}{100}\times8.5)[/tex]

[tex]A=25500\times1.5185[/tex]

[tex]A=38721.75[/tex]

Hence the ending balance is $ 38,721.75.
