Answer

1,500 ETB1,500\ \text{ETB}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the given values

    Principal (P) = 30,000 ETB
    Annual Interest Rate (R) = 10% = 0.10
    Time (T) = 6 months

  2. Convert the time period to years

    Since the interest rate is annual, the time must be expressed in years.
    T=6 months12 months/year=0.5 yearsT = \frac{6\ \text{months}}{12\ \text{months/year}} = 0.5\ \text{years}

  3. Calculate the simple interest

    The formula for simple interest is I=P×R×TI = P \times R \times T.
    I=30,000 ETB×0.10×0.5I = 30,000\ \text{ETB} \times 0.10 \times 0.5
    I=3,000 ETB×0.5I = 3,000\ \text{ETB} \times 0.5
    I=1,500 ETBI = 1,500\ \text{ETB}

    The interest is 1,500\ ETB.
