"e" is the base for natural logarithms and is equal to 2.71828 (approx)
it should be a key on your calculator

the "r" and "t" should be in parentheses

A = P [e^(rt)] ___ remember the order of operations ___ P-E-M-D-A-S

multiply r and t ___ .06 * 24 = 1.44

raise e to the 1.44 power ___ 4.2206958 (approx)

multiply by p ___ 21103.48 (approx)
