My apologies for the mistake.
To calculate the simple interest, we use the formula:
Interest = Principal * Rate * Time
Given that the principal amount is $2,000, the rate is 5%, and the time is 10 years, we can calculate the interest earned as follows:
Interest = $2,000 * 0.05 * 10 = $1,000
To find the total amount in the bank account after 10 years, we add the interest to the principal:
Total amount = $2,000 + $1,000 = $3,000
Therefore, Tenille will have $3,000 after 10 years.
