You deposit $5000 in an account that earns 4.5% annual interest. Find the balance after one year if the interest is compounded with the given frequency. 1. annually 2. quarterly 3. monthly
@Mertsj
What is the equation?
idk...wait to i have to write an equation myself? or is it given somewhere
You should have a formula for this problem.
ohh yes compound itrest formula: P(1+r/n)^nt
Replace p with 5000, r with .045, n with 1 for compounded annually and t with 1
wait theres twon ns can u draw it out please im getting confused
@Mertsj
So what if there is 2 n's. Replace them with 1
what does n stand for??
The number of compounding periods in 1 year.
ok imma solve it and can u check my answers?
$5225 for annually?
yes
i dont get quarterly do i do the paranthesis first so 1+.045/4^4
i got $5228.8 idk if thats correct
What do the rules for order of operations tell you to do first?
paranthesis
5228.83 It's money. You have to round to the nearest penny
5229
I guess you don't know the difference between dollars and cents.
? i dont get it...
If I have this number: $5228.82543165 and I want that number to be dollars and cents I would have only 2 numbers after the decimal point because in our country $24.76 means 24 dollars and 76 cents.
so it would be $5228 and 83 cents
Which would be written $5228.83. What country are you from?
CA
n for monthly is 12 right?
CA is NOT a country. It is a state and they have the same money system as the rest of the country.
yes
im sorry America
how long r u on till i want u to check my answers?
