Respuesta :

Both are simple interest, so the rate does not vary with time.
This means that if we compare the interest for any same number of years, it will show which bank is more advantageous, irrespective of the number of years of deposit.

Ross bank: $45/3 years for a 750 deposit, means 
annual interest = 45/750/3=45/2250=2%

Joyner bank:
annual interest = $23/1000/1 year = 2.3% 

With given information, investing in the Joyner bank appears more advantageous.
