Question 1025326: an opened a savings account and deposited $1,000.00. The account earns 1% interest, compounded continuously. If he wants to use the money to buy a new bicycle in 1 year, how much will he be able to spend on the bike?
Use the formula A=Pert, where A is the balance (final amount), P is the principal (starting amount), e is the base of natural logarithms (≈2.71828), r is the interest rate expressed as a decimal, and t is the time in years.

Using the formula
A+=+Pe%5Ert%29
we plug in to get
A+=+%281000%29e%5E%28%28.01%29%281%29%29+=+1010.05
He would be able to spend $1010.05
