Formula for amount for compound interest:
Amount, A = P(1 + r/100)^n
Where r is rate, P is principal, and n is the number of years.
P = 2000, r = 5, n = t years.
A = 2000( 1 + 5/100)^t
A = 200(1+0.05)^t
A = 2000(1.05)^t
A(t) = 2000(1.05)^t
To convert a percentage to decimal form, you need to divide the number in the percent by 100. In reality, that just looks like moving the decimal point to the left two places.
83% / 100 = 0.83
83% in decimal form is 0.83.
Hope that helped! =)
