Shane deposited 60 dollars in a savings account, earning 5% interest, compounded annually.

 

To the nearest cent, how much interest will he earn in 3 years?

1st year: 60 + 5% of 60 = 63

2nd year 63 + 5% of 63 = 66.15

3rd year 66.15 + 5% of 66.15 = 69.4575

 

To the nearest cent is just rounding that answer to 69.46 then minus 60 from it to get 9.46$ interest
