Answer: $88
Explanation:
1. Plug in the given data into the formula.
p = 80
r = 0.1 (represents 10%)
t = 1 year
2. Solve for i based on the formula's values
i = (80)(0.1)(1) = 8
Interest earned is $8 but THIS IS NOT THE FINAL ANSWER!
3. Add i (interest) to p (starting amount)
Elena started with $80, so the interest of $8 is added for a final answer of $88 after one year.
