Answer:

$9450

Explanation:

Answer:

A = $9,450.00

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $9,000.00

I (interest) = $450.00

Calculation Steps:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 5/100

r = 0.05 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 9,000.00(1 + 0.05/1)(1)(1)

A = 9,000.00(1 + 0.05)(1)

A = $9,450.00

Summary:

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $9,000.00 at a rate of 5% per year compounded 1 times per year over 1 years is $9,450.00.
