One thousand dollars is invested in a savings account that pays 9% interest per year. the interest earned after the first year is added to the account. how much interest is earned on the new principal the following year?

In order to solve this problem, the first thing we are going to do is find out how much is 9% of 1000, since 9% is the interest per year. So 0.09 x 1000 and that would be 90. And since the interest earned is added to the account, the account will now have a total of $1090 which is now the new principal. Based on this new principal, we need to know the 9% of it again to know how much interest in earned in the following year. So that would be 0.09 x 1090 and the result is $98.10. Hope this answer helps.
