Lester hopes to earn $500 in interest in 4.8 years time from $50,000 that he has available to invest. To decide if it's feasible to do this by investing in an account that compounds semi-annually, he needs to determine the annual interest rate such an account would have to offer for him to meet his goal. What would the annual rate of interest have to be? Round to two decimal places.

How would I type this into a ti-30xiib calculator to solve it?
