Answer:
<em>Option D: 5591.93</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to understand this question is to apply the formula in an indirect manner;
<em>P - Principle number, Starting Value</em>
<em>T - Time</em>
<em>I - Interest</em>
Let us convert the interest into decimal form, such that 3.8% is shifted two decimal points to the right ⇒ 0.038. Now add 1 to this value to get ⇒ 1.038. By PEDMAS, you would first raise this value to the span of 3 years as such:
<em>(1.038)^3 = 1.118386872.......</em>
The final step would by to multiply the starting value (investment $) $ 5,000 by this continuing value of <em>1.118386872</em>:
5,000(<em>1.118386872) = 5591.93436 ⇒ </em><em>Rounded to (About) 5591.93</em>
