\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=P%281%2Br%2Fn%29%5E%28n%2At%29\" Start with the compound interest formula\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=14000%281%2B0.12%2F2%29%5E%282%2A6%29\" Plug in \"P=14000\", \"r=0.12\" (the decimal equivalent of 12%), \"n=2\" and \"t=6\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=14000%281%2B0.06%29%5E%282%2A6%29\" Evaluate \"0.12%2F2\" to get \"0.06\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=14000%281.06%29%5E%282%2A6%29\" Add \"1\" to \"0.06\" to get \"1.06\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=14000%281.06%29%5E%2812%29\" Multiply \"2\" and \"6\" to get \"12\".\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=14000%282.01219647183555%29\" Evaluate \"%281.06%29%5E%2812%29\" to get \"2.01219647183555\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=28170.7506056977\" Multiply \"14000\" and \"2.01219647183555\" to get \"28170.7506056977\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=28170.75\" Round to the nearest hundredth (ie to the nearest penny).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So about $28,170.75 will be in the account in 6 years.
