Interest = Principle rate time

I = PRT

P = 1000

R = 2.5% -- change to a decimal = .025

T = 3


now we sub
I = PRT

I = (1000)(.025)(3)

I = 75

 so at the end of 3 years, there will be : 1000 + 75 = $ 1075 in the account

Answer:

The amount in the account after 3 years is $1075 .

Option (B) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

As given

You invest $1000 in an account at 2.5% per year simple interest.

Principle = $1000

rate = 2.5 %

Time = 3 years

Put in the formula

@@MATH_TOKEN_1@@

@@MATH_TOKEN_2@@

Simple interest = $75

Amount in the account = Principle + simple interest

                                      = $1000 + $75

                                      = $1075

Therefore the amount in the account after 3 years is $1075 .

Option (B) is correct.
