Answer:

£1999.85

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + rt)

Where:

A = Amount after t years

P = Initial amount invested = £1850

r = Interest rate = 2.7%

t = Time in years = 3 years

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 2.7%/100 = 0.027 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = £1850(1 + (0.027 × 3))

A = £1999.85

Therefore, Brian will have £1999.85 after 3 years.
