Sean used the $1,200 he got from his graduation party to open a savings account. If the account earns 1% interest each month and he makes no additional deposits, how much money will be in the account in 5 years?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\$1,920[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

[tex]A=P(1+rt)[/tex]

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

[tex]t=5*12=60\ months\\ P=\$1,200\\r=0.01[/tex]

substitute in the formula above

[tex]A=\$1,200(1+0.01*60)[/tex]

[tex]A=\$1,200(1.6)=\$1,920[/tex]
