You put $1,000 into a savings account that pays 4% in annual interest. How much money will you have after 2 years if the account pays only simple interest?
Amount invested in savings account = $1000
Account pays Simple Interest rate of 4%
Calculating the amount of money in saving accounta fter 2 years:-
Total Amount = Invested amount*[1+(r*t)]
where, r = annual Simple interest rate = 4%
n = no of years = 2
Total Amount = $1000*[1+(0.04*2)]
Total Amount = $1000*[1+0.08]
Total amount = $1080
So, the money you will have after 2 years is $1080
