jhonyy9:

what is this 15 ?

hhanan:

5% of $300

XxAngelGirlxX:

First, convert R percent to r a decimal r = R/100 r = 5%/100 r = 0.05 per year, Then, solve our equation for A A = P(1 + r/n)nt A = 300.00(1 + 0.0125/4)(4)(10) A = $ 493.09 Summary: The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from compound interest on an original principal of $ 300.00 at a rate of 5% per year compounded 4 times per year over 10 years is $ 493.09.
