Question

A principal of $3900 is invested at 7.5% interest compounded annually how much will the investment be worth after 9 years

Answer 1

`~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+(r)/(n)\right)^(nt) \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$3900\\ r=rate\to 7.5\%\to (7.5)/(100)\dotfill &0.075\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{annually, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &9 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=3900\left(1+(0.075)/(1)\right)^(1\cdot 9)\implies A=3900(1.075)^9\implies A\approx 7477.23`
