Answer 1

Answer: 19.50

Step-by-step explanation: 600(0.03)(9/12)+400(0.03)(6/12)=19.50

Answer 2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Khairul deposited $600 in a bank at the end of 2010 at the rate of 3 % per annum simple interest.

simple interest=
`(P* r* t)/(100)`

where P is the principal amount

r is the interest rate and t is the time

interest got till the end of 2011=
`(600* 3* 1)/(100)`

= $ 18

Khairul deposited $400 in the same bank at the end of 2011.

At the end of 2011 total amount in his bank= $(600+18+400)

= $1018

Interest he got from end of 2011 till end of 2013=
`(1018* 3* 2)/(100)`

= $ 61.08

Total amount in his bank at the end of 2013=$(1018+61.08)

= $ 1079.08

Hence, total amount Khairul has in his bank at the end of 2013 is:

$ 1079.08
