Compounded Interest Formula: [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]

  • A is final amount
  • P is principle amount
  • r is rate
  • n is compound
  • t is time in years

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

P = 800.00

r = 0.11

n = 1

t = 10

Step 2: Find A

  1. Substitute [Formula]:                    [tex]A=800(1+\frac{0.11}{1} )^{1(10)}[/tex]
  2. Divide/Multiply:                             [tex]A=800(1+0.11 )^{10}[/tex]
  3. Add:                                               [tex]A=800(1.11 )^{10}[/tex]
  4. Exponents:                                    [tex]A=800(2.83942)[/tex]
  5. Multiply:                                         [tex]A=2271.54[/tex]
