Answer 1

The initial deposit that Terry made was $ 150

Explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Future Value of the account = $ 156

Interest rate = 4% simple interest = 0.04

Terry did not make any withdrawal or deposits

2. What was the beginnings amount of money in Terry's account?

Let's recall the simple interest formula for answer this question:

FV = P * (1 + rt)

Replacing with the values we have:

156 = P * (1 + 0.04)

156 = 1.04p

P = 156/1.04

P = 150

The initial deposit that Terry made was $ 150
