Answer:

  • $262.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • Saving amount P = $3281
  • Interest rate r = 8% or 0.08
  • Compound number n = 1
  • Time t = 1 year

Find the total amount in 1 year:

[tex]I = P(1 + r/n)^{nt}-P[/tex][tex]I = 3281*(1 + 0.08/1)^{1*1} -3281 = 3281*1.08 - 3281= 3281*0.08=262.48[/tex]
