Answer:

  • Colin will have $2365 after 3 years.

Explanation:

Using PRT/100, we can find the interest and then sum it up with the principle amount.

  • => 2200 x 2.5 x 3/100 = Interest
  • => 22 x 2.5 x 3 = Interest
  • => 55 x 3 = Interest
  • => 165 = Interest
  • => 2200 + 165 = Total amount
  • => $2365

Hence, Colin will have $2365 after 3 years.

Hoped this helped.
