A=P(1+ (r)/(m))^(mt)


This was the formula that was given.


A is the final amount, which is what we're solving for.

P is the original money amount, which is $5,000

r is the interest rate, which is 1%, or 0.01

m is the amount of times the interest is compounded per year. Since the interest is compounded quarterly, interested is compounded 4 times per year.

t is the time the money is in the bank, which is 2 years


That's all we need to solve the equation now



A=P(1+ (r)/(m))^(mt)



=5000(1+ (0.01)/(4))^(4(2))



=5000(1.0025)^(8)



\approx 5100.88


That's your answer


Have an awesome day!
