Brooke has $7 in an account that earns 10% interest compounded annually.
To the nearest cent, how much will she have in 2 years?

Respuesta :

Assuming that no transaction happens in her account for those 2 years, the amount that Brooke will have in 2 years for given case is $8.47

How to find the compound interest?

If n is the number of times the interested is compounded each year, and 'r' is the rate of compound interest annually, then the final amount after 't' years would be:

[tex]a = p(1 + \dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

We're specified that:

  • Initial amount in bank of Brooke = p = $7
  • Interest rate = r = 10% = 0.10 (in decimal form), compounding annually.
  • Due to annual appliance of the interest, we have n = 1
  • The time for which this compounding will be done is t = 2 years.

Thus, we get the final amount's value (after 2 years of compounding) for this case as :

[tex]a = p(1 + \dfrac{r}{n})^{nt}\\\\a = 7(1 + 0.10)^2 = 7 \times (1.1)^2 = 7 \times 1.21 = 8.47 \: (\rm in \: dollars)[/tex]

Thus, assuming that no transaction happens in her account for those 2 years, the amount that Brooke will have in 2 years for given case is $8.47
