Answer:

$100 * (1 + 6.8%/12)^216 + $100*(1+6.8%/12)^215 + ... + $100*(1+6.8%/12)^1  

Now note that  

x + x^2 + x^3 + ... + x^N = x ( 1 + x + ... + x^(N-1) )  

= x ( (x^N -1)/(x-1) )  

Here, x = 1+6.8%1 = 1.00566666 and N = 216, so  

$100 * ( 1.00566666 ( 1.00566666^216 -1) / 0.00566666 )  

= $ 42398.33  

The total interest earned is $42,398 - $21,600 = $20,798

Step-by-step explanation:

The generic formula used in this compound interest calculator is V = P(1+r/n)^(nt)

V = the future value of the investment

P = the principal investment amount

r = the annual interest rate

n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year

t = the number of years the money is invested for

Of means multiplication. So the question is 1/3 X 1 1/2. First make 1 1/2 improper: 3/2. Then multiply the numerators (top numbers) and denominaters (bottom numbers): 1x3=3, 3x2=6, =3/6. Now simplify 3/6=1/2. Then multiply that by 2, since he used 2 pieces: 1/2x2=1. John used 1 meter :)
