For questions 5 and 6, Samantha finds a bank, Star Bank, which offers a CD account with a 2% interest rate every month. Star Bank’s interest is not compounded. The interest is based on the original amount of deposit. Remember that Samantha has $500 to start the account. She will not withdraw or deposit more money in the account for 2 years. Fill in the table showing the amount of money in the Star Bank CD account over 4 months.

You should recognize this situation as a "Simple Interest" calculation. What is 2% of $500.00? Keep adding it.
I got 10
so like in one month shed earn 10.00 in two shed earn 20.00 , in three 30.00 and in four 40.00?
@tkhunny
500.00 * 0.02 = 10.00 There you go. Now accumulate! 500 + 10 = 510 510 + 10 = ?? etc.
510, 520, 530, 540 are my answers? @tkhunny
If that's how you portray picking up $10 each month, then you are done.
