Answer:

amount need to invest in a month = $ 40.84

Explanation:

given data

Future value A = $500

interest rate r = 4% = 0.04

Time period t = 6 month = 0.5 year

solution

we get here future value formula that is

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

here n is 12 in a year and r is are and t is time period

put here value and we get

$500 =
P* (1+(0.04)/(12))^(12* 0.5)

solve it we get

P = $490.11

so amount need to invest in a year= $490.11

and amount need to invest in a month =
(490.11)/(12)

amount need to invest in a month = $ 40.84
