This does not fly here, since you clearly just want somebody to do an assignment for you.

Where are you running into difficulties?
e.g. this question is a very straightforward use of the simple interest formula

I'm using the compound interest calculator and answer I got was 71 months is this correct.
Answered by Ms. Sue
How did you get 71 months?

I = PRT

Answered by Ms. Sue
Why did you use a compound interest calculator when the problem states that this is simple interest?
Answered by james smith
I put in 500 as input principle the total 60 and the interest 3 did annually and it came out to be 71 what I'm I doin wrong? Using compound interest calculaor
Answered by Ms. Sue
Interest = principal * rate * time

60 = 500 * 0.03 * t

60 = 15t

60/15 = t

4 years = time

Why are you even using ANY calculator for this question

As Ms Sue told you, and you should know,
I = PRT
60 = 500(3/100)T
60 = 15T
T = 60/15 = 4 , and I didn't touch a calculator.
