You can put this solution on YOUR website!

For continuous compounding, the formula for the amount A after t years at an interest rate r (remember to write it as a decimal!) with a beginning principal of P is
A+=+Pe%5E%28rt%29

Plug in your given numbers and round as directed.

As a check of your calculation, I can tell you that I got a number between $4300 and $4400....
