Assuming that the 4.8% interest rate is an annual interest rate, then, after one year, with a principal of $3,000 we would be able to win 4.8% of $3000:

Divide 144 over 12 to find the monthly earnings:

Therefore, with a principal of $3,000 we would be earning $12 interest in 1 month.
For the earnings on the first month to be equal to $10, then you would have to win $120 annually, and $120 must be 4.8% of the principal. To find which quantity satisfies that 4.8% of it is equal to $120, divide 120 over 4.8%:

Therefore, the principal must be equal to $2500 for you to win $10 on the first month, and it would indeed be correct to say that if you open an account with $3000 you will earn at least $10 interest in 1 month.
the operation:

Gives a square number.

How to get a perfect square?</h3>
A perfect square is the product of a number and itself.
As you can see in the example, 16 is a square number. Then let's try to get 16.
To get 16 we can use the difference:
20 - 4
So the first therm needs to be equal to 20, and the second equal to 4.
To write 20 in scientific notation we have:

To write 4 in in scientific notation:

Then the operation:

Gives a square number.
