Answer:

Approximately $584.43

Explanation:

Your formula is A=Pe^rt

A is what you're looking for, the amount

P is the principal aka what you put into the account: $150

e is the mathematical constant. You'd plug that into your calculator.

r is the rate, you'd put it into the equation as a decimal: 8%=.08

t is the time in years: 17

A=150e^.08x17 you can plug this into your calculator

A=$584.43
