Answer:

The balance after 3 years is $827.34

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that You deposit $725 in an account that pays 4.5% annual interest compounded continuously.

Principal = $725

Rate of interest = 4.5%

Time = 3 years

We are supposed to find the balance after 3 years.

Formula :
A=P(1+r)^t

A= Amount

P = Principal

r = rate of interest in decimals

t = time


A=725(1+(4.5)/(100))^3


A=827.34

Hence the balance after 3 years is $827.34
