If $5000 is invested at a rate of 5.5%, compounded monthly, how much will the investment be worth after 6 years
It's just "plug and chug"

P = $5000
r = 5.5% = 0.055
n = 12 (monthly compounding, 12 months a year)
t = number of years.
A = ?????

A = P(1 + )nt

Plugging:

A = 5000(1 + )(12·6)

Once you do all that calculation you get:

$6949.60
