It gives me 101.06. That's not in the answer options...
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
Yeah it gave me D. I did both the simple and compound interest and then added them to get my answer. Thanks!!!
