Answer: f) $3,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Simple interest amount S.I.= $180.00
The rate of interest annually= 6%
In decimal , the rate of interest annually r = 0.06
Time period t = 1 year
Let 'P' be the principal amount invested in account.
The formula to calculate simple interest is as :-
[tex]\text{Simple interest }=Prt[/tex]
[tex]\\\Rightarrow180=P(0.06)\times1\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\frac{180}{0.06}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\$3000[/tex]
Hence, the principal amount invested in account = $3000
