you invest 500 in an account with an annual interest rate of 1.1%, compounded continuously. how much money is in the account after 5 years?

Question

anonymous · Answer

1.1% of 500 = 5.5
after 1 year = 500+5.5=505.5

1.1% of 505.5 = 5.561
after 2 years = 505.5+ 5.561

1.1% of (505.5+5.561) etc....

so this until you get five years :)
