Answer: There will be $2951.52 money in the account in 15 years

Explanation:

Given: Principal ; P = $1200

Interest rate;r = 6% compounded continuously

Time; t = 15 years

As we know the compounded continuously formula is given by


A= Pe^(rt) where A is amount , P is principal , r is rate, t is time and e be the mathematical constant.

So according to question we have


A= 1200 e^(0.06 * 15) = 1200 e^(0.9) \approx 2951.52

Hence, there will be $2951.52 money in the account in 15 years
