Nina deposits $3500 into savings account. the rate of simple interest is 5.5% p.a. a) by how much does the amount in her account increase each year? b) determine the amount in her account at the end of each year for the first 5 years.

A) $3500*0.055 = $192.50 . . . . the interest paid each year

B) The problem makes no mention of compounding, so we assume simple interest is paid. (Most accounts do not work this way.)
.. at the end of 1 year, 3500 +192.50 = $3692.50
.. at the end of year 2, 3692.50 +192.50 = $3885.00
.. at the end of year 3, 3885.00 +192.50 = $4077.50
.. at the end of year 4, 4077.50 +192.50 = $4270.00
.. at the end of year 5, 4270.00 +192.50 = $4462.50
