Q. Rapunzel opens a savings account with $900 that earns 9.2% interest per year, not compounded.How much interest, to the nearest penny, will Rapunzel earn in 9 years?
Calculate annual interest: Calculate the annual interest: Interest per year = Principal amount × Interest rate.$900×9.2%=$900×0.092.
Find total interest: Find the total interest for 9 years: Total interest = Annual interest * Number of years.$82.8×9=$745.2.
