Callum Mason · Answer 1

The amount of money in Sherrod's account after 3 years will be given by:

A=P (1+r/100) ⁿ

where:

P=principle

r=rate

n=time

From the information:

P=$500, r=3%, n=3 years

thus

A=500 (1+3/100) ³

A=500 (1.03) ³

A=546.3635

Hence the interest earned will be:

546.3635-500

=$ 46. 3635
