Answer 1

Answer:

$29.70

Step-by-step explanation:

when she opened her account she opened it with $900.00 she will get 2.2% interest per year.  she leaves it for 1 1/2 years.  what you do it you multiply 900.00 x 2.2%    that will give you $19.80 then you have to divide it by 2 and that will give you 9.90.  then you add 9.90 + 19.80 = 29.70

900. x 2.2% = 19.80

19.80 divide by 2 = 9.90

9.90 + 19.80 $ 29.70
