Answer:

The right solution is "$1001.49".

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

Deposited amount,

P = $700

Rate if interest,

r = 2%

Time,

t = 3

n = 12

As we know,

⇒ [tex]A = P ( 1 + \frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

On putting the given values in the above formula, we get

⇒     [tex]=700 ( 1 + \frac{0.2}{12} )^{12\times 3}[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=700 (\frac{12+0.2}{12} )^{36}[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=700(\frac{12.2}{12} )^{36}[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=700\times (1.01)^{36}[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=700\times 1.4307[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=1001.49[/tex] ($)
