We will use this formula \"A+=+P%2A%281%2Br%2Fn%29%5E%28n%2At%29\" where...
\n" ); document.write( "A = final amount in account after t years
\n" ); document.write( "P = principle (amount deposited)
\n" ); document.write( "r = interest rate in decimal form
\n" ); document.write( "n = compound frequency
\n" ); document.write( "t = time in years\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In this case,
\n" ); document.write( "A = Unknown. We're solving for this
\n" ); document.write( "P = 800 dollars is deposited
\n" ); document.write( "r = 0.09 (decimal form of 9%)
\n" ); document.write( "n = 1 (we're compounding annually, so 1 time per year)
\n" ); document.write( "t = 4 years\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we will plug P = 800, r = 0.09, n = 1 and t = 4 into the formula above to get...\r
