Question

if £500 is invested for 3 years at a rate of compound interest of 4% per annum how much will be in the account after three years

Answer 1

£562.43

Explanation:

£500 is invested for 3 years at a rate of compound interest of 4% per annum how much will be in the account after three years

Given data

P= £500

t= 3 years

r= 4%

The expression for the compound interest is given as

A= P(1+r)^t

substitute

A= 500(1+0.04)^3

A= 500(1.04)^3

A= 500*1.124864

A= 562.432

Hence the final amount is £562.43
