C
Yes, and he will have $77.30 more than expected.

D
No, and he would still need $77.30.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. He would still need 51.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First I added up all the deposits Emilio made

so: 621.96+83.11+52.89+307.84=1065.8

then i subtract 129 from the total (1065.8)

which equals 936.8 and I add the 11.5 interest.

which equals 948.3 which is 51.70 less than 1000. Therefore, Emilio still need 51.70 in order to meet his saving accounts goal.
