Andy deposited $1,567.12 in a savings account that earns 1.9% simple interest. What will Andy's account balance be in nine months? How would i solve this?

OpenStudy (evoker):

the 1.9% is that per year?

OpenStudy (kaylaprincess):

maybe i'm not sure. i just dont know how to put the information in the equation because i=prt, t= the time in year wise, not monthly
