Savings account after 10 years:
The initial 1000 + 1000*10 = $11,000
Now add the 3%: 0.03*11,000 = $330 earned
Stock market after 10 years:
The initial 1000 + 1000*10 = $11,000
Now add the 10%: 0.10*11,000 = $1,100 earned
Total money?
11,000 (from savings after 10 years) + 11,000 (from stock after 10 years) + 330 (savings interest) + 1,100 (stock market interest)
= $23,430
The initial 1000 + 1000*10 = $11,000
