It starts with 1,880 with 10% in simple interest. We should find 10 percent of 1,880 so we can find what it gains every 2 years. After that, we can make an equation involving the starting value, 1880, and the rate, 10% of 1880. After, we can replace X with 2 to find the balance after 2 years. 1,880×.1=188 1,880+ 188x=y 1,880+ 188(2)=y 1,880+ 376=y 2,256=y The balance after 2 years is $2,256.
