Answer:

$25,626.53

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to want to use the compound interest formula, which is shown below.

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}

<em>P = initial balance</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>n = number of times compounded annually</em>

<em>t = time</em>

<em />

First, change 8.5% into a decimal:

8.5% -> \frac{8.5}{100} -> 0.085

Now lets plug in the values into the equation:

A=10,000(1+\frac{0.085}{12})^{12(15)}

A=35,626.53

Lastly, subtract the total from the initial balance:

35,626.53 - 10,000 = 25,626.53

Michelle earned $25,626.53 in interest.
