Please help me ^.^

USMCSemperFi:

A principal of $2,700 is invested at 7.75% interest, compounded annually. How much will the investment be worth after 12 years?

USMCSemperFi:

Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

563blackghost:

Use the formula: \(\bf{A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}}\) `p = 2700` `r = .0775` `n = 1` `t = 12`

USMCSemperFi:

A = 2700(1+ .0775/1)^1/12

USMCSemperFi:

Is that right? not sure how I should of done the exponents

563blackghost:

Instead of `1/12` it would be `1 * 12`, other than that it is correct.

USMCSemperFi:

Oh alright thanks... so what now?

563blackghost:

just simplify. \(\large\bf{A=2700(1.0775)^{12}}\) \(\bf{A=2700 (2.449104)}\) \(\large\bf\color{red}{A=?}\)
