A fund has ₱50,000 in its account. If it earns 9.79%, how much interest will it have from February 1 to December 15? Use ordinary interest, approximate time.?

Feb 1 to Dec 15   is   10 1/2 months

in TWELVE months the account would earn  9.79%  x 50,000  or  .0979 x 50,000

 

the amount the account earns in only 10 1/2 months  is a FRACTION of the amount in TWELVE months:

(10 1/2 )  /  12

 

Sooooooo   the amount earned in 10 1/2  months is

 

(10 1/2) / 12  x  .0979 x 50,000  =    P 4283.125
