What is the ordinary interest on P1,500.50 for 182 days at 5.2%? A. P39.01 B. P39.82 C. P39.45 D. P39.99

The correct answer is A. P39.01.

To calculate the ordinary interest, we use the following formula:

$I = PRT$

where:

• $I$ is the interest
• $P$ is the principal amount
• $R$ is the interest rate
• $T$ is the time in years

In this case, we have:

• $P = P1,500.50$
• $R = 5.2\%$
• $T = \frac{182}{365} = 0.50$ years

Therefore, the interest is:

$I = P1,500.50 \times 5.2\% \times 0.50 = P39.01$
