\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+(r)/(n)\right)^(nt) \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$1500\\ r=rate\to 2.5\%\to (2.5)/(100)\dotfill &0.025\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{semiannual, thus twice} \end{array}\dotfill &2\\ t=years\dotfill &6 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=1500\left(1+(0.025)/(2)\right)^(2\cdot 6)\implies A=1500(1.0125)^(12)\implies A\approx 1741.13
