Respuesta :

Bobby will have $557 in his account after 4 years.

What is simple interest?

Simple interest is calculated based on a loan's principal or the initial deposit into a savings account.

Simple interest doesn't compound, therefore a creditor will only charge interest on the principal sum, and a borrower will never be required to pay further interest on the interest that has already accrued.

Simple interest = (principal amount×Rate of interest×time-period)/100

The principal amount deposited was $500.

The rate of interest given by the bank is 2.85%.

The duration of deposit is 4 years.

Simple interest = (500×2.85×4)/100

                         = 57

Simple interest given by the bank after 4 years is $57.

The total sum of money Bobby will have in his bank is $500 + $57 = $557.

Therefore, after 4 years Bobby will have $557 in his account.
