    A. He will earn £15.2 each year

    B. After one year he will have £965.2 in his account

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Applying the simple interest formula

    A = P (1 + rt)

    A = final amount

    P = initial principal balance

    r = annual interest rate

    t = time (in years

    Given data

    Principal p = £950

    Rate r = 1.6% = 1.6/100 = 0.016

    Time t = 1 year

    Substituting in our simple interest formula we have

    A = 950 (1+0.016*1)

    A = 950 (1+0.016)

    A = 950 (1.016)

    A = £965.2

    Interest = final amount - principal

    = 965.2-950

    = £15.2
