D$150

Respuesta :

Answer:

  B  $1,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest is computed using the formula ...

  I = Prt

where P is the principal invested, r is the annual rate, and t is the number of years.

Using your numbers, we can find the interest as ...

  I = $12,000×0.025×5 = $1,500

Sergio will have earned $1,500 in interest in 5 years.
