Answer 1

As you should know,

Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

in #1 and #2 question plug in the given values, and solve for the missing variable

compound interest:
Amount = Principal (1 + i)^n , where i is the interest per period, and n is the number of interest periods.
Again, plug in the given values for the last two questions.
