Question

Liam puts $2000 in the bank with a 3% annual interest rate compounded annually. if Liam does not touch his money how much money will he have after two years?

A.) 2,000.06
B.) 2,060.00
C.) 2,120.00
D.) 2,121.80

Answer 1

D. He will have $2,121.80.

After one year at 3% interst, $2000 becomes $2000 x 1.03 = $2,060.
During the second year, that $2060 x 1.03 becomes $2121.80

Answer 2

Answer:D)2,121.80

Explanation:

For the first year,

3% interest = PRT/100

=2000×3×1 / 100

=6000/100

=60

2000+ 60= 2060

for the second year

3% interest = PRT/100

= 2060 ×3×1 / 100

= 61.8

2060+61.8 = 2121.8

Therefore, after 2 years, he will have 2,121.8
