HELP PLS WHATS THE SOLUTION

Answer 1

C. $440.24

Explanation:

Multiply 0.025 (the decimal form of 2.5%) to 429.50:

429.50 · 0.025 = 10.7375

Then add the sum to the original balance:

429.50 + 10.7375 = 440.2375

Round to nearest hundredth:

440.24

Answer 2

C.440.24

Explanation:

To get the new balance first multiply the extra balance

`(2.5)/(100)*429.50`

`(1073.75)/(100)`

`10.7375`

so add the new balance to 429.50

429.50+10.7375=440.2375=440.24
