5.96%

7.6%

38 days

Step-by-step explanation:

15 months = 1.25 years

5138.5 = 4780 * R^1.25

R^1.25 = 43/40

1.25 lgR = lg (43/40)

lg R = 0.0251267714

R = 1.059562969

R - 1 = 0.059562969

Interest: 5.96%

(150/365) * (r/100) * 12000 = 375

r/100 = 0.0760416667

r = 7.6%

40 = (n/365) * (6/100) * 6400

(n/365) = 5/48

n = 38.02083333 = 38
