Answer:

Adele will have $2,315.25 at the end of 3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Parameters:

Principal, P = $2000

Rate, r = 5%

Number of times compounded, n = 1

Time, t = 3 years

The compound formula is given by:


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

Applying the given parameters


\begin{gathered} A=2000(1+(0.05)/(1))^(1*3) \\ \\ =2000(1.05)^3 \\ =2315.25 \end{gathered}

Adele will have $2,315.25 at the end of 3 years
