Use the formula for compound interest,


A=P(1+ (r)/(n))^(nt)

Where P is the starting amount (500$), r is the rate of interest (0.04), n is the number of times the interest is compounded per unit (1 per year), and t is the amount of time it is compounded (5 years).

Now, plug it into the formula:


A=500(1+ (0.04)/(1))^(5)

Do the math, and your answer is she must pay 608.32$ when she pays her debts.
