You have the formula, and t=1, so just plug and chug.

To calculate the interest earned in one year, we can use the formula:

I = P * r * t

Where:
I = Interest earned
P = Principal amount (initial savings amount)
r = Interest rate (in decimal form)
t = Time (in years)

In this case, Gwen has $500 in her savings account, the interest rate is 10% (0.10 in decimal form), and she wants to know the interest earned in one year (t = 1).

Substituting the values into the formula:

I = $500 * 0.10 * 1

Calculating:

I = $50

Therefore, Gwen will earn $50 in interest in one year.
