You have $1000 to deposit for 3 years and two accounts options. The first earns you simple interest at a rate of 5% and the second earns you compound interest (compound annually) at the same rate. Which account earns you more money?

hey there!!!

here P = 1000 $

we have to deposit it for 3 years now consider in case of SI

we know that in case of simlpe interest principle remains same so

SI = P×R×T/100 = (1000×5×3)/100

= 150 $

now Amount = P + SI = 1000 + 150

= 1150 $

In case of CI then Amount of 1st interest becomes principle.

=> A = P( 1 + r/100)^n

= 1000(1 + 5/100)³

= 1000(1+ 1/20)³

= 1000(21/20)³

= 1000× (21×21×21)/(20×20×20)

= (21×21×21)/8

= 1157.625 $

Now we can compare both the Amount in case of Compound interest the amount is greater...

so the second Account will earns you more.

obviously the account giving you compound interest......

for simple interest

1) for simple interest

total money after 3 years

$\frac{$1000 \times 5 \times 3}{100} + 1000 \\ = $1150 \\$

2)for compound interest

$$1000(1 + \frac{5}{100} ) {}^{3} \\ 1000 \times \frac{105}{100} \times \frac{105}{100} \times \frac{105}{100} \\ $1157.625$

so can see total money in compound interest is greater than the simple intetestokk
