The formula for simple interest is:

Original Money x Interest / 100 x (time / time for interest to do one "cycle")

Cycle isn't the right word, put it's the per annum or per day bit.

7,800 x 4.8 / 100 x (8 / 12)

= 37,440 / 100 x 0.75

= 374 x 0.75

= 280.50$

This means you end up with 8080.50$ if you include the original money.
