Question

Melanie invested $3,800 in an account paying an interest rate of 2 % compounded

Answer 1

Answer:

.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest formula

$PV(1+\frac{i}{n})^{nt}$

Melanie:

$3800(1+\frac{.02}{4})^{(6*4)\\}\\=3800(1+.005)^{24}\\3800*1.1272=4283.21$

Sebastian:

$3800(1+\frac{.02}{12})^{12*6}\\3800(1.0017)^{72}\\3800*1.1274=4284.06$

4824.06-4283.21= .85
