(d)$ 1.80 (e)$ 18

I put in 2400*9*.10 and it equals 2160 so i don't get what i'm doing wrong for the problem

I = Prt = 2400 * 0.1/yr * (9/12)yrs = $180.

Remember, t must be in years:
9/12 = 3/4yr = 0.75 yr.
The simple interest formula is I = PxRxt Plug in the values and see what you come up with for the interest :o) P = loan amount R = rate T = time
