Answer:
A1- 5400.00 A2- 5469.78 Total - 10,869.78
Step-by-step explanation:
Account 1
P is the principal amount, $4500.00.
r is the interest rate, 5% per year, or in decimal form, 5/100=0.05.
t is the time involved, 4....year(s) time periods.
So, t is 4....year time periods.
To find the simple interest, we multiply 4500 × 0.05 × 4 to get that:
The interest is: $900.00
Usually now, the interest is added onto the principal to figure some new amount after 4 year(s),
or 4500.00 + 900.00 = 5400.00.
Account 2
4500x.05=225. 4500+225=4725
4726x.05=235.25. 4726+235.25=4961.25
4961.25x.05=248.07. 4961.25+248.07=5209.32
5209.32x.05=260.46. 5209.32+260.46=5469.78
