ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY MATH HOMEWORK I REALLY NEED THE ANSWER RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I HAVE TO PASS THIS LATER I HOPE Y'ALL CAN HELP ME:(
I'LL MARK BRAINLIEST FOR THOSE WHO CAN ANSWER IT CORRECTLY!​

Answer 1

$y = a {(1 + r)}^{t}$

a = initial amount = 300

r = rate = 8%

t = time = 5

**r = 8% = 8÷100 = 0.08

___o___o____

$y = a{(1 + r)}^{t} \\ y = 300(1 + 0.08) ^{5} \\ y = 300 {(1.08)}^{5} \\ y = 300(1.46932807) \\ y = 440.7 \\ y = 441 \: student$

I hope I helped you^_^
