sweetburger · Answer

there is a equation usually for these types of questions do u happen to know it?

anonymous · Answer

A(4) = 2500(1+(0.03/4))^(3*4)?
@sweetburger

sweetburger · Answer

A=P(1+r/n)^nt so if the interest is compounded annually its only compounded once a year meaning n=1 i believe

sweetburger · Answer

so A=2500(1+.03/1)^(1*4) I think this would get the complete correct answer
