Answer: $3840

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula to calculate simple interest is given by :-

[tex]S.I=Prt[/tex]

Given: Principal (P): $8000

Time (t): 4 years

Interest rate (r): 12% =0.12

Now, the simple interest earned is given by :-

[tex]S.I=8000\times0.12\times4\\\\\Rightarrow\ S.I.=\$3840[/tex]

Hence, Simple interest was earned = $3840
