Solution :-

Simple Interest = $ 286.54 

Rate of Interest 2.5 %

Time = 5 years and 9 months

= 5 years and 9/12 months

= 5 3/4 year

= 23/4 year

Principal = ?

Simple Interest = (P*R*T)/100

⇒ 286.54 = (P*2.5*23)/(100*4)

⇒ 57.5P = 285.54 × 400

⇒ 57.5P = 114616

⇒ P = 114616/57.5

⇒ P = Rs. 1993.32 

So, the principal is Rs. 1993.32
