Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the problem. Allie has $1,000 invested in an account with an Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of 5%. The goal is to calculate the interest earned in one year using the formula for simple interest.
Step 2: Recall the formula for simple interest: \( I = P \times r \), where \( I \) is the interest, \( P \) is the principal amount, and \( r \) is the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal).
Step 3: Convert the APY of 5% into a decimal by dividing by 100. This gives \( r = 0.05 \).
Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: \( I = 1000 \times 0.05 \).
Step 5: Perform the multiplication to find the interest earned. The result will be the amount of interest Allie earns in one year.
