Please don’t put pressure on students.
They know they’re not supposed to copy and paste.
Some students don’t know what plagiarism is but here’s what it means

Plagiarism: known as copyright, copying and pasting
And much more. You may end up with these consequences if you copy and paste: a lower grade, falling a course, suspension, probation, last but not least expulsion.
It’s a very bad crime.

You are wrong, Connections academy is not watching you. They just know that these websites exist. And they can search up the question and see where you found it.

I’ll leave you off with a warning.
Thank you, and have a great day and night.

Find the final balance in an account with $660 invested at 3.5% annual simple interest for five years.
A. $23.10
B. $115.50

C. $683.10

D. $775.50

The final balance is:

Final balance = P(1 + rt)
Final balance = $660(1 + 0.035 x 5)
Final balance = $775.50

Therefore, the final balance in the account is $775.50. The answer is D.
Find the final balance in an account with $660 invested at 3.5% annual simple interest for five years.
To find the final balance in the account, we can use the formula:

Final balance = Principal + (Principal x Rate x Time)

Where:
Principal = $660
Rate = 3.5% = 0.035
Time = 5 years

Substituting the values in the formula, we get:

Final balance = $660 + ($660 x 0.035 x 5)
Final balance = $660 + $115.50
Final balance = $775.50

Therefore, the final balance in the account is $775.50. Answer: D.
