∵ The formula of the compound interest is


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

→ A is the new amount

→ P in the initial amount

→ r is the interest rate in decimal

→ n is the number of periods

→ t is the time

∵ The initial amount is 800 dollars

∵ The annual rate is 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

∵ It is a compounded annually

∴ n = 1

∵ t = 5 years

→ Substitute all of these values in the formula above


\begin{gathered} A=800(1+(0.03)/(1))^(1(5)) \\ A=800(1+0.03)^5 \end{gathered}

→ Use the calculator to find the answer

∴ A = 927.4192594 dollars
