100.00

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 5%/100 = 0.05 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = 1000 (1 + (0.05 * 2)) = 1100

A = $1,100.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $1,000.00 at a rate of 5% per year for 2 years is $1,100.00.
