Answer:

$115.92

Explanation:

To calculate compound interest, which Amount - Principal but we dont know the value for amount so we find the amount first by using the formula.

A = P ( 1 + R ) ^n

100

where p = principal ($800)

a = amount (?)

r = interest rate (7%)

n = time ( no of years) (2)

A = 800 ( 1 + 7 ) ^2

100 A = 800 ( 1 + 0.07) ^2

A = 800 ( 1.07)^2 = 800 ( 1.1449)

A = 915.92.

We then find compound interest with:

C = Amount - Principal = $915.92 - $800 = $115.92
