    Explanation:

    In simple interest method, the interest is calculated by the following formula

    I = P x R x T

    I = interest

    P = principal amount

    R = interest rate

    T = Time

    In this case

    I=$16

    P=$1500$

    R = 4% or 0.04%

    T = time

    $16 = $1500 x 0.04 x Time

    $16 = 60 x Time

    Time = 16/60

    time = 0.2666 year.

    time in days = 0.26666 x 365 days

    =97.333 days

    =97 days
