Lorena deposited $2372 into an account that earns 4.5% interest which is compounded once a year. How much money will Lorena have in the account in 20 years?
=2372*1.045^20 = $5,720.59
=2372*1.045^20 = $5,720.59
Answer:
5720.59
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, the amount formula in compound interest,
[tex]A=P(1+r)^t[/tex]
Where, P is the principal amount,
r is the rate per period,
t is the number of periods,
Here,
P = 2372,
r = 4.5% = 0.045,
t = 20 years,
Thus, the amount of money after 20 years would be,
[tex]A=2372(1+0.045)^{20}[/tex]
[tex]=2372(1.045)^{20}[/tex]
[tex]=5720.58566691[/tex]
[tex]\approx 5720.59[/tex]
