help please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Compound interest formula A= P(1+r/n)^nt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$2,321.05 $2,390.03 $2,450.74 $4,730.76

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First thing first, what is the Principal Amount (P)? In this question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dnt really knw am new to this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be 2340.73 The number of the compounded per year (n) = 12. An r would represent 4.7 the t would represent 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plug those numbers into the equation. A= P(1+r/n)^nt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$2,321.05 $2,390.03 $2,450.74 $4,730.76

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not none of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because we're not done with it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the new equation would be 2340.73 (1 + .047/12)^15*12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start solving that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be 2340.73 (1.0039)^180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2340.73 (2.0210)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
