Answer:
$1,590.00
Explanation:
Martha has $10,000 saved one. She will join college after 5 years.
Tuition for one year is $10,000. Inflation rate is 3%
The applicable formula is A = P ( 1+ r) ^n
Where A = amount after 5 years
P= principal amount $10,000
r= interest rate 3% of 0.03
n = 5 years
A= $10,000( 1+ 0.03) ^5
A = $10,000 ( 1.03)^5
A= $10,000 x 1.159
A= 11,590.00
Marthe already has $10,000. She will need 11,590.00 - $10,000 more
=$1,590.00
