You can put this solution on YOUR website! f = p * (1 + r) ^ n
at 9% compounded monthly and the money invested for 5 years, the formula becomes:
13,000 = p * (1 + .09/12) ^ (12 * 5)
solve for p to get:
p = 13,000 / ((1 + .09/12) ^ (12 * 5)) = 8,303.096082.
confirm by replacing p in the original equation with 8303.096082 and solving for f to get:
f = 8,303.096082 * (1 + .09/12) ^ (12 * 5) = 13,000.

Five years holds 60 of these periods.
How much to be invested to reach 13000 in that time?
