Answer:

B) $729.30

Explanation:

The amount of money owed can be calculated using the formula


A=P(1+r\%)^t

where P=$600 is the principal

r%=5%, is the rate percent, and


t=4 is the number of years.

We substitute the values into the formula to obtain;


A=600(1+5\%)^4


A=600(1+0.05)^4


A=600(1.05)^4


A=729.30 dollars
