Answer:

$90 of interest will be earned.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Principal,P = $250

Time, T = 18 months = 3 years

Rate, R = 12% = 0.12

Formula for simple interest:

[tex]I =\dfrac{P\times R\times T}{100}[/tex]

Putting values, we get,

[tex]I =\dfrac{250\times 12\times 3}{100} = \$90[/tex]

Thus, interest of $90 will be earned.
