Answer: The amount that she would owe is $1284.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

I represents interest paid on the loan.

P represents the principal or amount taken as loan

R represents interest rate

T represents the duration of the loan in years.

From the information given,

P = $1245

R = 3.5%

T = 11 months. Converting to years, it becomes 11/12 year

Therefore,

I = (1245 * 3.5 * 11) / 12 * 100

I = 47932.5/1200 = $39.94

The amount that she would owe after 11 months is

1245 + 39.94 = $1284.94
