i am lost on the t i don't know what to factor in for that

Zale?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

this problem might be clearer, and you might obtain more help, if you'd please express the exponentiation properly. total amount = P (1 + i)t looks like "P times (1_i) times t. That's incorrect. Better: Use Equation Editor or Draw to express the exponent:\[A=P(1+i)^t\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

We don't "factor the t" here. You are given: principal = P = $7,000, i=annual interest rate = 0.05, t=time=3 yrs.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Please find the Amount, using this formula.

oh my tell your teacher this is NOT how loans payments work at all the question is in error what they are asking is a different question entirely, if you invest \(\$7,000\) at \(5\%\) interest compounded annually , how much will you have in three years not the same thing at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but as @mathmale said, put \(P=7,000, i=0.05\) and \(t=3\) you will need a calculator to finish

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did a math teacher make this up, or is this some sort of FLVS question ?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Hope it wasn't a math teacher. We math teachers are perfect. What is the total amount that First Consumer Bank will receive after lending Jane $7,000 for three years at an interest rate of 5 percent, compounded annually? What this means to say, I believe, is that you are to calculate the total amount that poor Jane has to pay back to the Bank, including principal and interest, at the end of 3 years.
