A, 103.16 Hope this is right!

Devin borrowed $1,058 at 13 percent for nine months.

We have to calculate the interest paid.

Interest = [tex] \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} [/tex]

Substituting the values of

Principal = $1058

Rate = 13%

Time = 9 months = [tex] \frac{9}{12} [/tex] year

Interest = [tex] \frac{1058 \times 13 \times 9}{12 \times 100} [/tex]

Interest = 103.155

= 103.16

So, Devin will pay 103.16 as the interest.

Therefore, Option A is the correct answer.
