Levi deposited $2,918.33 in a savings account that earns 3.4% simple interest. What will Levi's account balance be in 7 months? I don't get this at all.

You can go to this link to veryify your answer. Look at the formula.

ONE year (12 months) of interest is 3.4%       Levi will only get  7months/12months (7/12) of this simple interest

 

2.918.33  x  (7/12) x (.034) = 57.88 interest

 

2918.33 + 57.88=2976.21 

    ( The webpage referred to by guest 1  is correct but it rounds the 7months/12months to .58 when it is actually .583333 )
