you put $1200 in an account that earns 3% simple interest. Find the total amount in the account after four years.

1 answer:

7 0

First, before we do anything, let's find how much interest the account has earned over the four years.
Multiply 0.003 by 4 to get 0.12
This means the account earned 12% of interest over the four years.
Now, we need to find how much the account has earned.
Multiply 1200 by 0.12 to find how much interest it currently.
You get $144.
Now we add 144 to 1200.
We get $1344.
The total amount the account has earned after four years is $1344.
Hope this helped you! :)

<h3>C. Scientific Notation</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number in question is greater than or equal to 1 but less than

10, we can choose any number between 1 and 10, lets take 3 for example.

If we take the product of 3 and an integer power of 10 number without regard to its sign, this can be expressed mathematically as shown;

$3 * 10^{-5}$ where the power of 10 is -5. Note that any real number can be used as the power since we are not regarding the sign (Here we used -5). The expression formed according to the expression in question is a SCIENTIFIC NOTATION i.e $3 * 10^{-5}$ gives us a scientific notation.
