Answer by vicgonzerx(31)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
from the annuity formula F=R[((1+i)^n-1)/i)
F=future amount w/c is 18,000
R=amunt to put every 3 months
n=mxy number of periods
since quarter in 1 year u have to put 4 times w/c is every 3 months
so n=4*7
n=28
i=ineterest=5.5%
so,
18,000=R[((1+.055)^28-1)/.055]
R=284.66dollars is the answer
