Answer 2

Answer:  B. $7,503

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Principal amount P = $6,300

The rate of interest r=6%=0.06

The time period t=3 years

The compound amount after t years with principal amount P at rate of interest r is given by :-

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

Now, for the given situation, the compound amount after 3 years is given by :-

$A=6300(1+0.06)^3\\\Rightarrow\ A=6300(1.06)^3\\\Rightarrow\ A=7503.4008\approx7503$

Hence, the balance in the account after 3 years = $7503
