what is
totalINTEREST= 400( 1.045)^3 + 450( 1.032)^3 -400-450
put this in your google search window
400( 1.045)^3 + 450( 1.032)^3 - 850=
totalINTEREST= 400( 1.045)^3 + 450( 1.032)^3 -400-450
put this in your google search window
400( 1.045)^3 + 450( 1.032)^3 - 850=

Opps, it is wrong. This said simple interest, not compounded.
try
totalINTEREST= 400( .045)x3 + 450(.032)x3
try
totalINTEREST= 400( .045)x3 + 450(.032)x3

interest from simple interest = 400(.045)(3) = 54
interest fromt he compound account
= 450(1.032)^3 - 450 = 44.60
total interest = 54 + 44.60 = 98.60 , which is D
interest fromt he compound account
= 450(1.032)^3 - 450 = 44.60
total interest = 54 + 44.60 = 98.60 , which is D
