Ryan has an eight-year loan for $6,000. He is being charged an interest rate of 5 percent, compounded annually. Calculate the total amount that he will pay.

OpenStudy (cj49):

A=P(1+r/n)nt 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. A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest. n = number of times the interest is compounded per year

I'm still a little confused with the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

principal is 6,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6,000 times 1 plus 5 would be 6,006 and after that I'm lost

OpenStudy (cj49):

6000(1+0.05/1)1(8)
