i may go bankrupt please HELP MEEE

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

Larry and Peggy are making decisions on their bank accounts. Larry wants to put the original money in an account with a higher interest rate. Peggy wants to put more money in as a principle amount because the more you start with, the more interest you will gain. Explain which method will result in more money.

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

no

Um... I'm really not sure XD I guess it depends on the amount of money and the amount of interest. I'm really not sure how to solve this.

@Mehek14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, the way I look at it is if you put $100 in the bank at 10% interest you make $10. If you put $1000 in the bank at 1% you get $10. So I guess the higher interest rate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The ratio of money earned to interest to principal seems to be higher with the higher interest rate.

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

I think Peggy...

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

"higher interest"

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

I think before going to bank Peggy studied about compound interest.

Directrix (directrix):

The question is vague. I don't see enough information to make a conclusion. Regardless, check out the work of @Callisto at this link: http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/52c2352fe4b0fef2cb9f53a2
