10-169.

Robin and Teryll each have to invest and they disagree about the best place to start a savings account. Teryll found a savings and loan company that will guarantee a rate of compounded monthly for the next years. Robin says her bank is much better because they will give her interest compounded semi-annually for the next ten years. In ten years, which account will end up with the greatest amount and how much difference is there?
