Answer:

I53 $

Step-by-step explanation:

So, now we can set up the proportion:

5.5             x

--------     =   ------

100              120

We need to find the value of x.

120 × 5.5 = 660

660 ÷ 100 = 6.6

So, now we know 6.6 is the amount Michael gets every year for interest.

Let's multiply that over 5 years.

5 × 6.6 = 33.

So, in total interest, Michael got 33$ in 5 years. Let's add that amount to the amount he originally added to into his savings account.

33 + 120 = 153.

Therefore, 153 will be the answer.
