Answer:

$690.78

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount in an account invested at compound interest and compounded m times in a year is derived using the formula:


Amount\: at\: Compound\: Interest=P(1+(r)/(m))^(mt)

• Principal, P=$440

,

• Interest Rate, r=5.8%=0.058

,

• Number of Years, t=8

,

• Number of times compounded, m =1

Substituting the given values, we have:


\begin{gathered} Amount\: at\: Compound\: Interest=440(1+(0.058)/(1))^(8*1) \\ =440(1+0.058)^8 \\ =440(1.058)^8 \\ =\$690.78 \end{gathered}

Your $440 will be worth $690.78 in 8 years.th $690.78
