Answer:

Penny would need to put in ~ $18,181.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation A = P(1+rt)

Where A = the total

P is equal to the starting amount

r is equal to the rate (percent)

and t is equal to the total time.

We can put in:

A = $40,000

r = 0.08 (8%)

t = 15

40,000 = P(1 +(0.08* 15))\\40,000 = P(1+1.2)\\40,000 = P(2.2)\\\frac{40,000}{2.2} = P\\ \frac{200,000}{11} = P\\P = $18181.8181818181...

Round to the nearest whole cent

P = $18,181.82
