Kristin's grandparents started a savings account for her when she was born. They invested $500 in an account that pays 8% interest compounded annually. What is an equation that can be used to model the amount of money in the account on Kristin's xth birthday?

Answer:

I = 500(.08)(x)

T = 500 + 500(.08)(x)

= 500 + 40x

= 20(25 + 2x)
