Tom said that 32.7 × 2.8 equals 91.56. is tom's answer reasonable? a. no, tom's answer should be closer to 9. b. no, tom's answer should be closer to 900. c. no, tom's answer should be closer to 9,000. d. yes, tom's answer is reasonable.

D. Yes, Tom's answer is reasonable.

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
