$2,814.49

Respuesta :

$2,196.48 is the answer

Answer:

2196.48

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5% is an APR (annual percentage rate).  that means your deposit increases by 3.5% every 12 months.  9 months is 3/4 of 12 months or 75%.  3.5% of 2140.30 is 74.91.  74.91 x 3/4 is 56.18.  56.18 is 9 months interest.  56.18 + 2140.30 = 2196.48
