: Find the present value of $100,000 if interest is paid at a rate of 8% per year, compounded monthly, for 5 years.
I used the formula: 100,000 = P(1+ 0.08/12)^(12)(5) = 66,979.24.
Does this sound about right? I'm having trouble with the e function on the calculator.
Thank you very much! This question is from textbook College Algebra
