Gilbert deposits $200 into a bank account that earns interest at the rate of 8%. He makes no further transactions other than a $100 withdrawal after 3 years. Approx how much money is in Gilbert's account after he makes the withdrawal?

A $124
B $127
C $148
D $154
E $224

Answer : D

Can someone please explain.
Also could you please suggest a good book to understand the Compound Interest topic ?

Thanks

Hi diebeatsthegmat,

Thats exactly my question. I fail to understand if its a simple or compound interest problem.
The answer given says its a compound one, but the explanation they have given is too vague to make anything out of it.
