Answer:

B. $79.45

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for simple interest is I = PRT, where I = interest earned, P = principal/amount invested, R = rate as a decimal, and T = time in years.

For this example, we'll calculate the interest earned, then add to the principal to get the total amount of money in her account.

I = (70)(0.045)(3)

I = 9.45

70 + 9.45 = $79.45
