C. Compound daily applies interest everyday over a period of 365 days in a year. Compound annually only applies the 3% interest once a year.
Step-by-step explanation:
3% compounded daily:
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt
= 25000(1 +
)^365(5)
= 25000(1.00008219)¹⁸²⁵
= 25000(1.161827)
= 29045.6770
3% compounded annually:
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt
= 25000(1 +
)^1(5)
= 25000(1.03)⁵
= 25000(1.159274)
= 28981.8518
Make a proportion, 2/3=120/x. now solve for x, and get betty has 180
