Answer: $562.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Principal amount ( Initial amount) P=$500

Time period x= 4 years

Rate of interest r= 3%=0.03

We know that the compound amount after x years will be given by :-

$A=P(1+r)^x$

According to the given question, we have

$A=500(1+0.03)^4\\\Rightarrow\ A=500(1.03)^4\\\Rightarrow\ A=562.7544\approx562.75$

Hence, the total amount Sara will have paid back = $562.75
