years. How much is in the account at the end of 6 years?
A $587.60
B $102.60
C $579.58
D$94.58

Answer :

Answer:

$587.60 will be in the account at the end of 6 years.

Solution:

Given that $ 485 is deposited into savings account  

Interest earned is 3.25 % Compound Interest for years

We have to find how much is in the account at the end of 6 years

Compound Interest is given as:

[tex]A=P\left(1+\left(\frac{r}{n}\right)\right)^{n t}[/tex]

Where:  A = Amount after compound interest

P = Principal/Base Amount

r = rate of compound interest

n = no. of times interest applied

t = time period

By substituting the values in the above formula, we can calculate the amount.

[tex]\text { Therefore, } A=485\left(1+\left(\frac{3.25}{1}\right)\right)^{6}[/tex]

[tex]A=485(1+3.25)^{6}=587.60[/tex]

Hence the amount at the end of 6 years is $ 587.60. Hence Option A is correct
