Answer 1

Answer:

$1720.0931 will earn as interest in 2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal = $7411

Rate of interest = 11% compounded annually

Time = 2 years

Formula : $A = P(1+r)^t$

$A=7411(1+0.11)^2$

A=9131.0931

Interest = Amount - Interest =$9131.0931 - $7411

Interest = $1720.0931

Hence  $1720.0931 will earn as interest in 2 years
