B. $79.45
C. $94.50
D. $164.50

Respuesta :

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Amount in Bonnie's account initially=$ 70

The formula for simple interest= [tex]\dfrac{P\times R\times T}{100}[/tex]

Where P is the principal amount

R is rate of interest

and T is the time

Here, P=70,R=4.5,T=3

Interest=  [tex]\dfrac{70\times 4.5\times 3}{100}[/tex]

           = $ 9.45

Hence, Total amount in his savings account after 3 years= $(70+9.45)

                                                                                              = $ 79.45

Hence, correct option is:

B. $ 79.45

Answer:

The answer is C. $94.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:I=PRT

I=PRT

I=4.5*70.00*3

I=0.45*70.00*3

I=31.5*3

I=94.50
