\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{Future Value of an ordinary annuity} \\\\ A=pymnt\left[ \cfrac{\left( 1+(r)/(n) \right)^(nt)-1}{(r)/(n)} \right]



\bf \begin{cases} A= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{accumulated amount}\\ \end{array}\to & \begin{array}{llll} 900 \end{array}\\ pymnt=\textit{periodic payments}\\ r=rate\to 8.4\%\to (8.4)/(100)\to &0.084\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{monthly payments, thus} \end{array}\to &12\\ t=years\to (6)/(12)\to &(1)/(2) \end{cases} \\\\\\ 900=pymnt\left[ \cfrac{\left( 1+(0.084)/(12) \right)^{12\cdot (1)/(2)}-1}{(0.084)/(12)} \right]


solve for "pymnt"
