Claudia invested $12,000 at an interest rate of 4.5% compounded monthly. In the formula A=p(1+r/n)^nt, A is the worth of an account after t years, n is the number of times that interest is compounded, P is the initial deposit, and r is the interest rate.Approximately how much money will be in Claudia’s account after 7 years?

Respuesta :

Answer: $16,433.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the formula given:

A=p (1+r/n)^nt,

  • r must be in decimal form (percentage divided by 100)
  • n is equal to 12 ( it compounds 12 times per year)

Replacing with the values given:

A = 12,000 (1+ 0.045/12) ^12(7)

Solving:

A = 12,000 (1+ 0.045/12) ^12(7)

A= 12,000 (1.00375) ^84

A = $16,433.42
