: I think I'm missing an integral piece... can you give me a hand?
Using the formula: A=P(1+r)^2
In order for $1000.00 to increase to $1440.00 in 2 years, what is the interest rate?
Thanks. This question is from textbook
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The formula for compound interest is: where A = present amount, P = the principal invested, i = the interest rate (expressed as a decimal), and n = the number of years.
You may also see this written:
In your problem, you will substitute A = $1,440.00, P = $1,000.00, and n = 2 years. So make the appropriate substitiutions and solve for r. Divide both sides by 1000 Take the square root of both sides. Subtract 1 from both sides. Multiply by 100 to convert to percent.
r = 20%
