Hi,
Calculate the amount of money in the savings account at the end of six months.
The principal is $100, the rate is 10% and the interest is compounded quarterly.
Note: In General: A+=+P%281%2Br%2Fm%29%5Emt
A = Accumulated Amount
P= principal = $100
r= annual rate = .10
m= periods per year = 4
t= years = .5
A+=+%24100%281%2B.10%2F4%29%5E2
A+=+%24100%281.025%29%5E2
A= $105.06
