highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C2%2C+INTEREST%2C+EARNED+=+A+-+P%29%29, with A+=+P%281+%2B+r%2Fm%29%5E%28mt%29, and where:
A = Future Value (unknown in this case)
P = Principal/Original amount invested/Original amount deposited ($700, in this case)
r = Interest rate (10%, or .1, in this case)
m = Compounding periods, per year (yearly, or 1, in this case)
t = Time, in years (6, in scenario "a", and 5, in scenario "b")
