pleeeeeeeease help me im so confused!!!  m has put $500 into a savings account that pays her 2% annual interest, how much will her $500 be worth after 2 months?


Sagot :

first form an equation: 500+(500*0.02x)=y
2% is the annual interest so 2 months would be 1/6 (of 2%.
2% of $500 is $10. 1/6 of of $10 is $1.67.
Add that to your initial $500, and you get $501.67, so your $500 dollars will be worth $501.67 after 2 months
so m puts in 500 dollars
it's 2% or 2/100 in a year or 12 months
so in 2 months or 1/6 year
she will get 2/600=0.33%
so 0.33% of 500=1.6666
1.6666+500=501.666
that's great considering that after 4 years saving at wells fargo I only got 16  cents interest
