Answer:

$1400

Explanation:

Principle amount in Raymond's account = $1,250

Interest earned on that amount = 3%

Time period for which the money will be in that account = 4 years

Total amount in Raymond's account will be sum of amount deposited by Raymond and interest accrued in 4 years at the rate of 3% per year.

Simple Interest for any amount p in T years at R% is given by formula

=
p*r*t/100

Therefore Simple interest accrued in 4 years will be =
p*r*t/100\\

=> 1250*3*4/100 = 150

Therefore total interest accrued is $150

Total money in Raymond's account = total interest accrued + Principle amount in Raymond's account = $(150+1250) = $ 1400

$ 1400 money will Raymond have in the account after 4 years if there are no withdrawals or additional deposits.
