Respuesta :

Answer:

$4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that Pete and Teegan each put an amount of $P in a new bank account.

Teegan's account earns 2.75% simple interest and she earned $2.20 in interest after one year.

So, we can write [tex]\frac{P \times 2.75}{100} = 2.20[/tex]

⇒ P = $80

Now, this $80 in Pete's account earns 5% simple interest.

Then after one year Pete will earn as interest [tex]\frac{80 \times 5}{100} = 4[/tex] Dollars. (Answer)
