The principal represents an amount of money deposited in a savings account subject to compound interest at the given rate.
Principal= $9000
Rate= 5%
Compounded= annually
Time= 5 years
A. Find how much money there will be in the account after the given number of years.
B. Find the interest earned.
Compound Interest formula


A+=+P%281%2B%28r%2Fn%29%29%5E%28nt%29

A = the future amount of money
P = the principal amount= ($9,000)
r = the annual interest 5% = 0.05
n = n = 1)
t = (5 years)
Plug the values in the formula

A+=+9000%2A%281%2B%280.05%29%29%5E%285%29
= 11486.53
There will be $11,486.53 in the account after 5 years.

subtract the principal from the future amount to get interest.
