Question

In 1880 five aboriginal trackers were each promised the equivalent of 100 Australian dollars for helping to

capture the notorious outlaw Ned Kelley. In 1998 the granddaughters of two of the trackers claimed that this reward had not been paid. The Victorian prime minister stated that if this was true, the government would be happy to pay the $100. However, the granddaughters also claimed that they were entitled to compound interest.

How much was each grandaughter entitled to if the interest rate was 3%?

How much was each entitled to if the interest rate was 6%?

Please show me how you worked out this problem. Thanks.
