Respuesta :

The interest from an investment is calculated through the equation,

    I = P x i

Where I is the interest, P is the principal amount and i is the interest rate.

   P = I / i

Substituting the known values,

   P = ($9.99) / (0.018/100) = $55,500

 The nearest value to the obtained value above is $55,555. Thus, the answer to this item is the first choice.
