We have been given that in an account an amount of 7,650 is invested at 9.15 percent compounded quarterly for 8 years and 6 months.
We will use compound interest formula to find our answer.
,
Where, P= principle amount, A= amount after T years, n= period of compounding and r = interest rate (decimal).
Let us substitute our given values in our formula.
Therefore, after 8 years and 6 months our amount will be 16505.497.
It would be a + because the 7 in 7y is positive, therefore it would be added to the X’s. if it was -7y, then the underline would be a –.
