Divide the amount of interest earned by the original amount:

622.50 / 12,450 = 0.05

Multiply that by 100 to get the percent:

0.05 x 100 = 5%


The answer is B.

Answer:

B. Would be your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

100%/x%=12450/622.5

Multiply both sides of the equation by x

(100/x)*x=(12450/622.5)*x

Divide both sides of the equation by 20 to get x

100=20*x

Divide both sides of the equation by 20 to get x

100/20=x

5=x
