Answer: it will take 4.8 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as
I = PRT/100
Where
I represents interest paid on the amount investment.
P represents the principal or amount invested
R represents interest rate
T represents the duration of the investment in years.
From the information given,
P = 8000
R = 12.5
I = 200
200 = (8000 × 12.5 × T)/100 = 1000T
T = 200/1000
T = 0.2
Converting to months, it becomes
0.2 × 12 = 4.8 months
