Answer:

$203.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bank in question compounds interest just once, and this is a one year investment, it can be treated as a simple rate interest problem. Therefore, the total balance after one year (B) is given by the following formula:

$B= 200*(1+i)\\B= 200*(1+0.015)\\\\B= 203$

April's balance would be $203.00 after one year.
