What is the total interest earned in two years on an account containing $500 at 3.5% interest, compounded annually?

$35.61

$35.16

$35.00

$36.51

Compound interest is $36.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial amount deposited into the account is $500 This means that the principal,

P = 500

It was compounded annually. This means that it was compounded once in a year. So

n = 1

The rate at which the principal was compounded is 3.5%. So

r = 3.5/100 = 0.035

It was compounded for 2 years. So

t = 2

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years. Therefore

A = 500 (1+0.035/1)^1×2

A = 500(1.035)^2 = $535.61

Compound interest = 535.6 - 500 = $35.61

we'll this would mean that the dunk tank and the bounce house are the same for 20 hours because the 2 represents that the two activities, and the 20 represents the amount of hours they both are. so with this said, it means that the answer is c. the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

c.the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

hope this .
