Question

Felipe's grandparents have given him $1,500.00 to invest while he is in college to begin his retirement fund. He will earn 2.3% interest, compounded annually. What will his investment be worth at the end of 4 years.

Answer 1

$1,642.83

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount after four years can be calculated using the formula below

A = P(1 +r)^n

where A= amount

P = Principal amount $1500

r= interest 2.3% or 0.023

n = time in year; 4

A = $1500(1 + 0.023)^4

A= $1500(1.023)^4

A=$1500x 1.095222

A=$1,642.83
