~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+(r)/(n)\right)^(nt) \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$3300\\ r=rate\to 6.75\%\to (6.75)/(100)\dotfill &0.0675\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{annually, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &8 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=3300\left(1+(0.0675)/(1)\right)^(1\cdot 8)\implies A=3300(1.0675)^8\implies A\approx 5565
