Answer:

$4884.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount in a simple interest account is given by the formula ...

A = P(1 +rt)

Here, we have principal P=$4500, interest rate r=0.0285, and time t=3. Then the amount in the savings account will be ...

A = $4500(1 +.0285·3) = $4500·1.0855 = $4884.75
