Pierce currently has $10,000. What was the value of his money five years ago if he has earned 5 percent interest each year?. . .

Vladimir [108]

Amount = $10000
Let us assume the principal = x
Amount of interest = 5%
Time = 5 years
Then
x (1 + i)^t = 10000
x(1 + 0.05)^5 = 10000
x(1.05)^5 = 10000
1.28x = 10000
x = 10000/1.276281
= 7835.26
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B".
