The formula for compound interest is:
A=amount, P=principal, r=interest rate (decimal), n=number of times compounded per unit "t", t=time
P=15000
r=0.05
n=2
t=3
Now we have to input the numbers into the formula:
≈17395.40
Answer is rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Therefore the amount obtained is approximately $17395.40 or $32395.40 in total.
