Answer:

She needs to invest $13,636.36 right now

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P

In this question:

In 15 years, so t = 15

She wants to have $30,000, so T = 30000

8% interest, so I = 0.08

We have to find P.

T = E + P

30000 = E + P

E = 30000 - P

Replacing:

E = P*I*t

30000 - P = P*0.08*15

30000 - P = 1.2P

2.2P = 30000

P = \frac{30000}{2.2}

P = 13636.36

She needs to invest $13,636.36 right now
