You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Amount = Principal(1+r/2)^2*5 where r is the annual rate divided by the number of compounding periods per year (2) and t is the time (5)
23000 = P(1+0.06/2)^2*5
23000 = P(1+0.03)^10
23000 = P(1.3439) now divide both sides by 1.3439 to get your answer
P = 23000/1.3439 = 17114.37
You do the 10 years.
