Time for which the investment is to done = 7 years

Rate of interest = 6%

[tex]Simple\ Interest = \dfrac{PRT}{100}[/tex]

Where [tex]P[/tex] is the principal amount

[tex]R[/tex] is the Rate of Interest

[tex]T[/tex] is the time for which the investment is made

Putting the given values:

[tex]Simple\ Interest = \dfrac{3000\times 6\times 7}{100}\\\Rightarrow Simple\ Interest = \dfrac{12600}{100}\\Simple\ Interest = \$126[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is:

Interest earned is $126.
