Answer:

£1690

Explanation:

Amount invested by Brian = £1300

rate of simple interest = 10%

To find money Brian will have after three years

He will have amount invested in bank and interest earned in three years from that amount.

Simple interest for any principal amount p is given by

SI = P*R * T /100

where SI is simple interest earned

T is time period for which simple interest is earned

R is rate of interest

Substituting value of P , R and T we have

SI = 1300*10* 3 /100 = 390

Therefor interest earned will be £390

Total money with Brian after three years = principal amount invested + interest earned in 3 years

= £1300 + £390 = £1690
