Answer:


\$100,879.39

Explanation:

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to


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

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have


t=20\ years\\ P=\$18,000\\ r=9\%=9/100=0.09\\n=1

substitute in the formula above


A=18,000(1+(0.09)/(1))^(1*20)


A=18,000(1.09)^(20)


A=\$100,879.39
