Answer:

Compound interest = $3310

Explanation:

Formula for calculating compound interest

A = P[1 + R/100]^N

A - Amount

P - Principle amount

R - Rate of interest

N - Number of years

To find compound interest

Here

P - $100,000

R - 10%

N - 3 years

A = P[1 + R/100]^N

A = 100000[1 + 10/100]^3

A = 100000[110/100]^3

A = 100000[1.10]^3 = 133100

Compound interest CI = A - P = 133100 - 100000 = 33100

Option C) have some mistake, 33.10 instead of 33100
