Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'P' represent the principal amount
'R' will stand for the interest rate
'T' indicates the time period
P = $1000
R = 3%
T = 4 years
We can compute the simple interest using,
Interest = (P x R x T) / 100
= (1000 x 3 x 4) / 100
= 12000 / 100
= $120
Thus, the simple interest over 4 years totals $120.
Total amount = P + Interest
= 1000 + 120
= $1120
Consequently, the account will have $1120 after 4 years.
