Question

If you save $3,000 at an interest rate of

Answer 1

Amount earned in compound interest = P(1 + r)^n; where P is the principal, r is the rate and n is the number of periods.

Amount = 3,000(1 + 14%)^6 = 3,000(1 + 0.14)^6 = 3,000(1.14)^6 = $6,584.91

Answer 2

Answer:  Option 'C' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Principal amount = $3000

Rate of interest = 14%

Time period = 6 years

As we know the formula for "Compound Interest " :

$Amount=P(1+\frac{R}{100})^n\\\\Amount=3000(1+\frac{14}{100})^6\\\\Amount=3000(1+0.14)^6\\\\Amount=3000(1.14)^6\\\\Amount=3000\times 2.194\\\\Amount=\ 6584.91$

Hence, Option 'C' is correct.
