Answer:

a. $36

b. $336

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest on a amount is:

A=P(1+rt)

A is the amount after interest, P is the amount before interest, r is the rate of interest and t is the time in years.

We can use the formula:

$=300\cdot{(1+0.04\cdot{3})}=300\cdot{1.12}=336$

The interest earned is the amount after interest minus the original amount before interest:

$=336-300=36$

$36 of interest was earned

The balance of the account is $336 worked out in a

Answer:

it would actually be the opposite because if u multiply ur making the number higher, it can be a fraction but it would be 23/1 and thats a whole number u would need to divide by 100 and 100 bc if 10 u get 2 3/10 and if u divide by 100 u get 23/100 either way u get a fraction but if u divide by 10 u get a mixed fraction. If u just want a fraction u would have to divide from 100
