Answer:

[tex]I=\$22.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

[tex]I=P(rt)[/tex]

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

[tex]t=\frac{9}{12}\ years[/tex]  ----> one year is equal to 12 months

[tex]P=\$1,000\\r=3\%=3/100=0.03[/tex]

substitute in the formula above

[tex]I=1,000(\frac{9}{12})(0.03)[/tex]

[tex]I=\$22.5[/tex]
