    A) At the end of 3 years the amount in the account = Principal + Interest

    Amount = 4000 + 960 = 4960

    Amount at the end of 3 years = $4960

    b) Formula for Rate, R = 100I / (PT)

    Where I = Interest = 960, P = Principal = 4000, T = Time = 3 years

    R = (100 * 960) / (4000 * 3)

    R = 8

    Rate, R = 8% per annum.

    c) If the rate was 1% more, R = 8 + 1 = 9% per annum

    Interest, I = PRT/100

    Interest, I = 4000 * 9 * 3 / 100 = 1080

    Amount in her account would have been = $4000 + $1080 = $5080

    Amount more = $5080 - $4960 = $120

    She would have had $120 more should the rate were 1% greater.
