Roseanne has $500 that she wants to invest. She has the option to invest it at Capital Bank where

the money will earn 5% interest compounded annually or Central Bank that pays 5% simple
interest.
If she leaves the money in the bank for 5 years how much more in dollars and cents would she
earn in interest at Capital Bank than she would earn at Central Bank?
pls help
