Respuesta :

Answer: Jerry

Explanation:

Greg deposits $500 into an account for 2 years with 2% interest, the interest gotten will be:

= $500 × 2 × 2%

= $500 × 2 × 0.02

= $20

Jerry despots $700 into a different account for 1 year with 3% interest, the interest gotten will be:

= $700 × 1 × 3%

= $700 × 1 × 0.03

= $21

Based on the calculation, Jerry makes a greater interest.
