Answer:

=$2739.81

Explanation:

To find the total amount if the interest is compounded, we use the compound interest formula.

A=P(1+R/100)ⁿ

A is the amount, P- principal, is the invested amount R is the % interest rate, n is the number if periods.

If compounded semi-annually, it means we have two periods in 1 year

The rate is also divided by 2

Thus 25 years have (25×2) = 50 periods.

A= 750(1+5.25/200)⁵⁰

=750(1.02625)⁵⁰

=$2739.81
