the answer is C.)
since the 8% of $460 is $36.80 
the next 5 years will increase at the same rate
so then you have to multiply 36.80 by 5 which equals $184

Answer:

$184.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula i = prt, where

p = principle or starting amount

r = interest rate expressed as a decimal

t = time in years

i = prt = (460)(0.08)(5) = 184
