~~~~~~ \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 &\$30200\\ r=rate\to 6\%\to (6)/(100)\dotfill &0.06\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{per year, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=30200\left(1+(0.06)/(1)\right)^(1\cdot 5) \implies A=30200(1.06)^5\implies A \approx 40414.41
