Answer:

$470

$517

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest formula: A = P(1 + rt)

where A is the final amount, P is the principal amount, r is the annual rate interest (in decimal form), t is time (in years)

Zachary invests $400 into an account that earns 3.5% simple interest for 5 years.  So the account balance at the end of 5 years will be:

P = 400

r = 3.5% = 3.5/100 = 0.035

t = 5

⇒ A = 400(1 + 0.035 x 5) = 400 (1.175) = 470

So Zachary has $470 in his account after 5 years.

Now he is investing $470 into an account for 2 years earning 5% interest.  So the new account balance at the end of 2 years will be:

P = 470

r = 5% = 5/100 = 0.05

t = 2

⇒ A = 470(1 + 0.05 x 2) = 470(1.1) = 517
