find the interest on $2700 that is invested at 4% for 2 1/2 yrs.
------------------
What kind of interest? simple or compound?
If simple interest Interest = Prt = (2700)(0.04)(2.5) = $270
----------------
If compounded annually: Interest = (2700)(1+0.04)^2.5 - 2700
= 2700[(1.04)^2.5 - 1]
= 2700[0.1030]
= $278.15
