Answer:

he invest​ today is $229166.67

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

future value = $110,000

time t = 6 year

rate r = 8 % = 0.08

to find out

present value

solution

we get here present value that is

future amount = principal × rate × time .................1

$110,000 = principal × 8% × 6

$110,000 = principal × 0.08 × 6

$110,000 = principal × 0.48

principal =
(110000)/(0.48)

principal = 229166.67

so he invest​ today is $229166.67
