You deposit $700 in an account paying 7.7% simple interest. Find the future value of the investment after 2 years. (Enter a number. Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer: The future value of the investment after 2 years is $807.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal or amount invested.

R represents interest rate

T represents time in years

I = interest after t years

From the information given

T = 2 years

P = $700

R = 7.7%

Therefore

I = (700 * 7.7 * 2) / 100

I = 10780/100

I = 107.8

The total amount in the account after 2 years would be

700 + 107.8 = $807.8
