If one thousand dollars is invested at an interest rate of 9% per year, the interest earned after the first year would be $90 (calculated as 0.09 x 1000). This interest is added to the principal, making the new principal $1,090. In the second year, the interest earned on this new principal would be $98.10 (calculated as 0.09 x 1090).
