Answer:

$35.1

Step-by-step explanation:

2.6% of 900 = 23.4

Since it's a year and a half you might want to divide by two.

2.6/2 = 1.3

1.3% of 900 = 11.7

add them up,

23.4 + 11.7 = 35.1

It's asking for how much she EARNED not HAS in her bank account in 1.5 years. So include what she earned with interest, do not include the 900 dollars because she didn't earn it with interest, she already had that.
