Answer 1

As per the given simple interest, the amount in the account after 10 years is $715.

How to calculate Simple interest?

The general formula to calculate the simple interest is written as,

A = P(1 + rt)

Where

A refers Total Accrued Amount (principal + interest)

P refers Principal Amount

r refers Rate of Interest per year in decimal; r = R/100

t refers Time Period involved in months or years

Mollie has $550 in a savings account that earns 3% simple interest each year.

Here we need to find the amount in her account after 10 year.

According to the given question, we know that

Principal amount =$550

Interest rate = 3%

Time period = 10 years

Then the simple interest is calculated as,

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 3%/100 = 0.03 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 550(1 + (0.03 × 10)) = 715

A = $715.00

Therefore, the total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $550.00 at a rate of 3% per year for 10 years is $715.00.
