Hillary works for a company that offers 75% matching on all of her retirement contributions. for the last 35 years, hillary has been depositing $200 into her 401(k) savings account that pays 4.99% interest annually. after 35 years, how much money has been deposited into the 401(k) by both hillary and her employer?

The total is $12,250.

Step-by-step explanation: First, we will calculate the amount that Hillary has deposited over the past 35 years. She has deposited $200 for each of the past 35 years. The total that she has deposited is 200 x 35 = $7,000.

Her employer also deposits into her account 75% of what she has deposited. In order to calculate their contribution you need to multiply $7,000 x .75 = $5,250.

The total that has been deposited into the account is $7,000 + $5,250 = $12,250.
