Complete Question
If $12000 is invested in an account in which the interest earned is continuously compounded at a rate of 2.5% for 3 years
Answer:
$ 12,934.61
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for Compound Interest Compounded continuously is given as:
A = Pe^rt
A = Amount after t years
r = Interest rate = 2.5%
t = Time after t years = 3
P = Principal = Initial amount invested = $12,000
First, convert R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100
r = 2.5%/100
r = 0.025 per year,
Then, solve our equation for A
A = Pe^rt
A = 12,000 × e^(0.025 × 3)
A = $ 12,934.61
The total amount from compound interest on an original principal of $12,000.00 at a rate of 2.5% per year compounded continuously over 3 years is $ 12,934.61.
Note that 6 inches is half a foot, so if its 4ft. then 1/2 of a foot goes in 8 times which means that the scale factor is 8. :)
It think the answer could quite possibly be 4

Compute each option
option A: simple interest
simple interest is easy
A=I+P
A=Final amount
I=interest
P=principal (amount initially put in)
and I=PRT
P=principal
R=rate in decimal
T=time in years
so given
P=15000
R=3.2% or 0.032 in deecimal form
T=10
A=I+P
A=PRT+P
A=(15000)(0.032)(10)+15000
A=4800+15000
A=19800
Simple interst pays $19,800 in 10 years
Option B: compound interest
for interest compounded yearly, the formula is

where A=final amount
P=principal
r=rate in decimal form
t=time in years
given
P=15000
r=4.1% or 0.041
t=10


use your calculator
A=22418.0872024
so after 10 years, she will have $22,418.09 in the compounded interest account
in 10 years, the investment in the simple interest account will be worth $19,800 and the investment in the compounded interest account will be worth$22,418.09
