The formula of the compound interest is V = V₀(1+r%)ⁿ, where V₀ is the initial amount invested, r= interest in%, n = the period or number of years
and V the new amount of his investment:
In your given formula 1250(1.03)^t which is similar to V= 1250(1+3%)^t
We notice that 1250 occupies the place of the initial investment, so Rashid
invested 1250
