Answer:

1.) $408.15 | 2.) $8,039.06 | 3.) 807,837.24 | 4.) $1,163.19

Explanation:

1.) You need to know the exponential growth and decay formula.

The formula: y=ab^x

**For no.1**

Your initial amount is 300 which is the a

You need to do 100%+8% which is 108%

-This needs to be in decimal form: 1.08

4 years is the number of times the interests shall go up

Now do the equation:

y=300(1.08)^4 --> Multiply everything but do exponents first!!

y= $408.146688

$408.15 - This is the answer for no.1 it shall be rounded

**For no.2**

Same thing as last:

y=1500(1.75)^3

y= $8,039.0625

$8,039.06

**For no.3**

y=900(1.12)^60

y= 807,837.24

This had to be approximate

**For no.4**

y=820(1.06)^6

y= 1,163.1856

$1,163.19
