Answer:

Brian will have £6841.19 after 6 years.

Explanation:

The compound interest formula is:


A = P( 1 +(r)/(100) )^(n) ,

where A is the final amount, P is the initial (principal) amount invested (£6600), r is the interest rate (0.6%) and n is the number of years the money is kept for (6 years).

Using the formula:



A = 6600(1 + (0.6)/(100) )^(6)\\\\A = 6841.19
