I got a tougher question than this one (based on simple interests) in my real GMAT

An investment yields an interest payment of $68 each week. If the simple annual interest rate is 7.5%, what is the amount of the investment assuming there only 48 weeks are calculated in a year?
(a) $28,600
(b) $30,430
(c) $34,330
(d) $37,860
(e) $43,520
interest for one week 68
interest for 48 week =68*48=68*8*6=408*8=3264
rate=7.5
i=P*R*T/100
(3264*100)/7.5=p
so answer=43520
cheers

shrouded1, really? But was it a simple interest or something more complicated?

Problem was based on simple interest

It compared two situations to set up an equation which gets you the answer, but based on the same concepts

Thanks. I guess I have to go back to interest problems then and solve them.
