ANSWER  

Card I’s balance increased by $53.16 more than Card H’s balance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Currently you have two credit cards, H and I. Card H has a balance of $1,186.44 and an interest rate of 14.74%, compounded annually. Card I has a balance of $1,522.16 and an interest rate of 12.05%, compounded monthly. Assuming that you make no purchases and no payments with either card, after three years, which card’s balance will have increased by more, and how much greater will that increase be?  And so the total amount would be $53.16.

this is the formula: v = the value of investment at the end of the time period

p = the principal amount (the initial amount invested)

r = the annual interest rate

n = the annual frequency of compounding (how many times a year interest is added)

t = the number of years the money is invested

^ means raise to the power of
