#$912#

Explanation:

The formula for calculating Simple Interest is:

#SI=(PxxTxxR)/100#, where #SI=#Simple Interest, #P=#Principal amount, #T=#Time in years, and #R=#Rate of interest in percent.

#SI=(800xx2xx7)/100#

#SI=(8cancel00xx2xx7)/(1cancel00)#

#SI=8xx2xx7#

#SI=112#

The maturity value is the sum of the principal and the simple interest:

#800+112=912#
