Answer:

$206

Explanation:

The amount that would be in the account = amount deposited + interest earned on deposit

interest earned on deposit can be determined by determining the simple interest

Simple interest = principal x time x interest rate

principal = the amount deposited = $200

Time = the duration of the deposit = 1 year

interest rate = the percentage on deposit that would be earned = 3%

200 x 0.03 x 1 = $6

The amount that would be in the account = $200 + $6 = $206
