Hello,
A little more information is needed but let me see if I can help you out.
If the 8% is a simple interest then we can multiply 8% times $200.
.08($200)= $16 interest for one year.The second year multiply 8% times $216
.08(216)=$17.28 Add this to $216 for a total of $233.28
Now for the 3rd year multiply 8% times 233.38
.08(233.38)=$18.66 interest added to $233.38 for a total of $252.04
There is a faster way but I wanted to show you how it works so you have a better understanding of how it works.
