    The simple interest on a loan amount is the principal times the rate times the time. The rate and time need to be in compatible units.

    interest = principal*rate*time
    $1250 = principal*(11%/year)*(2/12 year) = principal*.11/6
    6*$1250/.11 = principal    (multiply both sides of the equation by 6/.11)
    $7500/.11 = principal
    $68,181.82 = principal
