Answer:
Patricia's account balance after thirteen years is $867.16
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is on simple interest calculation
we know that the formula for simple interest is given as
A= P(1+rt)
Given that
P= $612.40
r= 3.2%= 0.032
t= 13 years
Applying the formula we have
A= 612.40(1+0.032*13)
A= 612.40(1+0.416)
A= 612.40(1.416)
A= 867.1584
A= $867.16
