Question

SIMPLE INTEREST The simple interest on an investment is directly proportional to the amount of the investment. By investing $\$3250$ in a certain bond issue, you obtained an interest payment of $\$113.75$ after 1 year. Find a mathematical model that gives the interest $I$ for this bond issue after 1 year in terms of the amount invested $P$.
