Mike deposited $500 for 9months at 8%. Compounded quarterly
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
-------------------------------------
A(3/4) = 500(1+(0.08/4))^(4*(3/4))
------
A) How many times was interest added to Mike's account?
Ans: 4*(3/4) = 3
---------------------------
B) What percent intrest was added each time?
Ans: 0.08/4 = 0.02 = 2%
-----------------------------------
C) What was the balance in Mike's account at the end of one year?
A(1) = 500(1+(0.08/4))^(4*1)
A(1) = 500(1.02)^4
A(1) = $541.22
