Please help!!! kenbaby Ricky is 24 years old and starting an IRA(individual retirement account). He is going to invest $200 at the beginning of each month. The account is expected to earn 2.9% interest, compounded monthly. How much money will Ricky have in his IRA when he retires, at age 65?

im not too sure but i think its a power question so the base is 200 and the power is ((2.9)/100)^t \[y=200\times(2.9\div100)^{t}\] try it im not too sure if thats it, message me if you need some clarification

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Compound Interest \(\large A = P\left(1+\cfrac{r}{n}\right)^t\) where \(P\) = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit) \(r\) = annual rate of interest (as a decimal) \(t\) = number of years the amount is deposited or borrowed for. \(n\) = number of times the interest is compounded per year \(A\) = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.
