ANSWER :

The interest is $30.77

EXPLANATION :

The interest formula is :

[tex]I=Prt[/tex]

where :

P = principal amount

r = rate of interest

t = time in years

From the problem, we have :

P = $400

r = 11.7% or 0.117

t = 240 days

Convert 240 days into years

[tex]240days\times\frac{1yr}{365days}=0.6575yrs[/tex]

Using the formula above :

[tex]\begin{gathered} I=400(0.117)(0.6575) \\ I=30.77 \end{gathered}[/tex]
