Answer 2

Answer:

x= 1.961

Step-by-step explanation:

Marcel's ,P = 2500 , T = 3, R = 1.6%

SI = PRT/100

=(2500×1.6×3)÷100

Jacques's , P = 2000 , T = 3, R = x%

CI = P( 1 + R/100)^T -P

2000(1 + x/100)^3 -2000

But this is equal to 120

(1 + x/100)^3 = 2120/2000

x= 1.961

I hope this helps !!!!!!!!!!!
