In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data

initial savings = $200

increase = 45% = 0.45

final savings account = ?

Step 02:

final savings account = savings + savings * 0.45

= $200 + $200*0.45

= $290

The answer is:

The final savings amount is $290.
