7.5 x 2.5 ie 18.75
How do you figure out your total amount of money after interest?
It depends on whether it is simple or compound interest. The formula for simple interest is A = P(1+rt), where A = amount of money after t years, P = Principal, or the amount of money you started with, and r = the annual interest rate, expressed as a decimal (i.e. 7% = 0.07). For compound interest, the formula is A = P(1+r)t.

What is simple interest?
Simple interest does not compound. In other words, If you start off with $500 and get $5 in interest, the $5 you got in interest will not be included when calculating the amount of interest you will get next year. Simple interest can be calculated by the formula i = prt, where i is the amount of money earned from the interest, p is the principle (starting money), r is the rate (as a decimal,) and t is the time in years. Another formula is used to calculated the accumulated amount: A = p(rt + 1), where A is the accumulated amount.
What is true of compound interest?
The power becomes greater the longer you keep your money and the interest in the bank.
