Question 33 • Advanced Financial Algebra

Sariah is investing in a savings account that offers a simple interest rate of 4% If her initial deposit is $⁢300 , what will her account balance be after 5 years? Use the arithmetic sequence formula a_n=a_1+(n−1)×d to calculate the balance.

Answer
A
380 dollars
B
400 dollars
C
420 dollars
D
360 dollars

Explanation

The account earns 4% of $300 each year: $300 × 0.04 = $12. After 5 years, the interest totals 5 × $12 = $60, so the balance is $300 + $60 = $360. This matches choice D, 360 dollars.
