Mr. and Mrs. Bailey need to invest $2906.50 so as to send their son to college.

<h3>Compound interest</h3>

Compound interest is given by:

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where A is the amount after t years, P is initial amount, r is the rate and n is the times compounded per period

Given that n = 1, r = 9% = 0.09, A = $7500 t = 11. Hence:

$7500=P(1+\frac{0.09}{1} )^{1*11}\\\\P=\$2906.50$

Mr. and Mrs. Bailey need to invest $2906.50 so as to send their son to college.
