Answer:

$267.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Jameson: simple interest

6% =.06 .06 x 5 = .3 .3 x 7000 = 2,100 = interest

6% =.06 .06 x 5 = .3 .3 x 7000 = 2100 2100 + 7000 = 9,100 = total

Quincy: compound interest

6% =.06 .06 x 5 x 1 = .3 x 7000 = 2100

6% =.06 .06 x 5 x 1 = .3 x 7000 = 2100 + 7000 = 9100

.06 x 5 x 1 x 9100 = 2730 + 9100=11830

repeat five times u would get a interest of 2,367.58

and a total of 9,367.58

the total amounts 9,367.58 - 9,100 = 267.58

the interests 2,367.58 - 2,100. = 267.58
