Earl has deposited $798 in a savings account that earns interest at a rate of 3.1% compounded quarterly. What will the account balance be in 21 years? $1,034.95 $822.74 $2,473.80 $1,526.30

Any ideas?

@ElizabethScarlette are you still there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm thinking it's 1,034.95

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

What makes you think that it's $1,034.95?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because the interest rate is only 3.1, and 822 is too low, while the others are too high

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Do you know the compound interest formula?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

798*(1+0.031/4)^(21*4)
