Solution:
Concept:
Use the simple interest formula
I
=
P
×
R
×
T
I = P \times R \times T
I
=
P
×
R
×
T
.
Explanation:
Given:
I
=
G
H
∉
132.00
I = \mathrm{GH}\notin 132.00
I
=
GH
∈
/
132.00
,
P
=
G
H
∉
550.00
P = \mathrm{GH}\notin 550.00
P
=
GH
∈
/
550.00
, and
R
=
12
%
=
0.12
R = 12\% = 0.12
R
=
12%
=
0.12
.
Substitute into the formula:
132
=
550
×
0.12
×
T
132 = 550 \times 0.12 \times T
132
=
550

0.12
×
T
132
=
66
T
132 = 66T
132
=
66
T
T
=
132
66
=
2
T = \frac{132}{66} = 2
T
=
66
132
=
2
Therefore, the time is 2 years.
Answer:
B. 2 years
