Answer

18600\text{18600}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Calculate the simple interest earned.

    The formula for simple interest is SI=P×R×TSI = P \times R \times T, where PP is the principal amount, RR is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), and TT is the time in years.

    SI=15000×0.12×2SI = 15000 \times 0.12 \times 2 SI=1800×2SI = 1800 \times 2 SI=3600SI = 3600
  2. Calculate the total amount in the account.

    The total amount is the principal plus the simple interest.

    Amount=Principal+Simple  InterestAmount = Principal + Simple\; Interest Amount=15000+3600Amount = 15000 + 3600 Amount=18600Amount = 18600

    The amount of money in Joy's account at the end of two years was 18600\boxed{\text{18600}}.
