Answer: Choice B
The initial amount in the account.
==================================================
Reason:
x is the number of years
x = 0 is the starting point. Let's plug that in to find...
![y = 982(1.07)^x\\\\y = 982(1.07)^0\\\\y = 982(1)\\\\y = 982\\\\](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/high-school/8s0d2idlt5176sj1mtql0jv1ws7iqrapdw.png)
At the start, Sammy has $982 in the bank.
Side note: The 1.07 means the account is growing by 7% each year.
