The person above is correct because if you take the original amount Kim had and subtract that from the amount currently there you get 213.30 and you take that and divide that by 5 because of the 5 years you get

Answer:

42.66%

Explanation:

subtract the amount of money from after and before: 1,635.30 - 1,422 = 213.3

divide the amount of money gained by the years: 213.3/5 = 42.66
