Answer: She will earn $15 excluding the one-time credit during the year.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount Sandra gain = $210

Gain included a one time per year credit

Amount of that one time per year credit = $30

Her equation becomes,


14(x+30)=210

To project how money x her investment account will earn during the year

We need to find the amount that Sandra's account will earn during the year, excluding the one time credit

So, our equation becomes,


14x=210\\\\x=(210)/(14)\\\\x=\$15

Hence, She will earn $15 excluding the one-time credit during the year.
