Expert Solution
Step 1

The given value is P=400,t=9,r=9.9%=0.099.

The amount is called the money that is paid back at the end of the time period for which it was borrowed.
P,r, t is given so the amount formula used is,

A=P1+rnrt

r is the interest rate,

is the principal,

is the amount,

t is time,

n is the compounded per year.
