Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

Deposit A:

Principal (p) = $400

Rate (r) = 3.4% = 0.034

Deposit B:

Principal = $5

Rate (r) = 3.3%

Tbe interest earned by the on an account is directly proportional to :

The size of principal amount , the interest rate and the number of years at which the amount is kept in deposit.

From the above ;

Account which earns more interest among the two is deposit A with a higher rate and a larger principal than B.
