Answer 1

So here we need to know what SI actually is!
It is additional money someone gets depending on the principal invested, the rate and the amount of time the interest is given!
So in this question the principal amount is = $2500
And the rate of interest offered by gretchen's parents is = 10/100
And the amount of time for which thy WILL offer interest is = 10 years!
Use this simple formula for
Interest = Principal*rate*time = 2500*10/100*10
Tell me the Simple INterest (SI)
And then tell me the final amount = principal (2500) + Interest (SI)
Find it!! :D
