Ann and Tom want to establish a fund for their grandson's college education. What lump sum must they deposit at an 8.2% annual
interest rate, compounded annually, in order to have $20,000 in the fund at the end of 15years?
2 answers:
Compound interest formula = a=P(1+r/n)^nt
P= lump sum to deposit (solving for)
A= amount accumulated over the entire time (20000)
n= number of times interest is compounded annually (1)
r= rate of interest (0.82)
T= total number of years (15)
20000=P(1+0.082/1)^1*15
20000=P(1.082)^15
20000=P(3.26143638)
20000/3.26143638=P
P=$6132.2674

Hope it helps you!
So you want to multiply 185.5 by 1.04 to get the 4% inflation. if you do that then you get 192.92
I think it would be 10.5, although I'm not sure I hope this helps
