Megan deposited $3,500 in a savings account for 1 year at a rate of 1.5% per year. How much interest will she earn?

1 answer

To calculate the interest earned, we can multiply the initial deposit by the interest rate.

Interest = Initial deposit x Interest rate

Interest = $3,500 x 1.5%

Interest = $3,500 x 0.015

Interest = $<<3500*0.015=52.5>>52.5

Megan will earn $52.50 in interest.
