Answer:

$728.57

Explanation:

You work this problem out by evaluating the given formula using the numbers given in the problem statement. It tells you the principal amount is $700, the interest rate is 4% = 0.04, and the time is 1 year.

The given formula is ...

A = Pe^(rt)

Any scientific or graphing calculator can evaluate that with the numbers filled in:

700×e^(0.04×1) ≈ 728.56754 ≈ 728.57 (rounded)

_____

"e^x" is generally a function the calculator is able to perform, so you don't need to know the value of "e".
