Question

I am stuck on how to do this: How much was deposited in the account if the amount in the account after six years is $17.70 and the interest rate is 3%? (we are trying to figure out how to apply the forumula--A = P + prt

Answer 1

R is rate and t is time

Answer 2

so doesn't that mean that your r will be 3 and your t will be 6

Answer 3

actually, your r will be 0.3

Answer 4

Then, what could p be?

Answer 5

not .O3 for r??

Answer 6

sorry my keys are going crazy yes you are right

Answer 7

so I think what I'm asking is how do I do the prt part? All times each other?

Answer 8

what we got so far is 17.70 = P + (.03 x 6). how do you solve that?

Answer 9

so it would be this: A=17.70+17.70(6)(0.3).You would multiply prt

Answer 10

then you would add p , which is 17.70
