Answer:

[tex]I=\frac{1}{20}A[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]I[/tex] represent interest and [tex]A[/tex] represent the amount.

Then we were given that: "the interest varies directly with the amount deposited".

This is written symbolically as:

[tex]I\propto A[/tex]

When we introduce the constant of proportionality; we get:

[tex]I=kA[/tex]

From the question, when I=75, A=1500.

We substitute and solve for k.

[tex]75=1500k[/tex]

[tex]\implies k=\frac{75}{1500}\\ \impies k=\frac{1}{20}[/tex]

Hence the required equation is [tex]I=\frac{A}{20}[/tex]
