[tex]I=\text{PRT}[/tex]

Where:

I = Simple Interest

P = Principal

R = Interest Rate

T = Time in Months

Solving for 'P':

[tex]\begin{gathered} 80=P\times0.04\times6 \\ \Rightarrow P=\frac{80}{0.04\times6}=\frac{80}{0.24}=333.33 \end{gathered}[/tex]

With this, we have our result. The principal amount is $333.33
