Hello!

Lynne invested 35,000 into an account earning 4% annual interest compounded quarterly she makes no other deposits into the account and does not withdraw any money. What is the balance of Lynne's account in 5years

Data:

P = 35000

r = 4% = 0,04

n = 4

t = 5

P' = ?

I = ?

We have the following compound interest formula


P' = P*(1+(r)/(n))^(nt)


P' = 35000*(1+(0,04)/(4))^(4*5)


P' = 35000*(1+0,01)^(20)


P' = 35000*(1,01)^(20)


P' = 35000*(1.22019003995...)


P' \approx 42,706.66

So the new principal P' after 5 years is approximately $42,706.66.

Subtracting the original principal from this amount gives the amount of interest received:


P' - P = I


42,706.66 - 35000 = \boxed{\boxed{7,706.66}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark
