Answer:

C. The total value is $375

Explanation:

Given

p=$250, r=.05 , t= 10

Required

Total Value.

Before solving this, I'll make an assumption that t = 10 represent 10 years and I'll assume that the above data are for simple interest

Having said that, I'll solve further.

Total Value or Amount is calculated using the amount formula.

A = P(1 + rt)

By substituting the following: P = $250, r = 0.05 , t = 10;

The equation becomes:

A = $250(1 + 0.05 * 10)

A = $250(1 + 0.5)

A = $250(1.5)

Open bracket

A = $250 * 1.5

A = $375

Hence, the total value is $375.
