Question

You deposit $75 in a savings account that earns 5% annual interest compounded yearly. Find the balance in the account after the given amounts of time. 1 year 2 years 5 years 20 years

Answer 1

Hi there
The formula is
A=p (1+r)^t
A future value
P present value 75
R interest rate 0.05
T time

After 1 year the balance is
A=75×(1+0.05)
A=78.75

After 2 years
A=75×(1+0.05)^(2)
A=82.69

After 5 years
A=75×(1+0.05)^(5)
A=95.72

After 20 years
A=75×(1+0.05)^(20)
A=198.99 round
A=199

Hope it helps
