Answer: £460

Explanation:

Use this formula to find the total interest
I=(P*R*T)/(100)

I stands for interest, P is principal, R is rate, and T is time.

Principle = £2300

Rate = 5%

Time = 4 years


(2,300*5*4)/(100) =(46,000)/(100) =460

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! :-)
