Question

Suppose Brianna invests $1,300 each year for 5 years, in an annuity that pays 6% annual interest, compounded annually. What percentage of the balance, after 5 years, is from Brianna’s contributions? Enter your answer as a percentage, rounded to two decimal places, but omit the percent sign.

Answer 1

Answer:

74.73%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we're gonna find out her total amount

We're gonna use the count interest formula: P = A(1 + r)ⁿ

P = final amount

A = starting amount (1300)

r = rate (0.06)

n = years (5)

P = 1300(1 + 0.06)⁵

P = 1739.693251

Now divide the starting amount by the total amount

1300 ÷ 1739.693251 = 0.7472582
