Question
**Problem: Calculating Present Value with Simple Interest**

To determine the present value (P) you need to invest to reach a future value (A) using a simple interest rate (r) over a period of time (t), we are given:

- Future Value \( A = \$12,000 \)
- Interest Rate \( r = 4.0\% \)
- Time Period \( t = 3 \) years

---

**Calculation:**

The goal is to find the present value that must be invested to achieve $12,000 after 3 years at an interest rate of 4.0%. Round up to the nearest cent.
