Using a calculator, we can compute %281.046%29%5E30 to get %281.046%29%5E30=3.854344 (type in 1.046 ^ 30 into your calculator). Note: this value is approximate.

So 2500%281.046%29%5E30=2500%2A3.854344


Now just multiply 2500 and 3.854344 to get 9635.86 (which is also approximate).


So 2500%281.046%29%5E30=2500%2A3.854344=9635.86 which means that 2500%281.046%29%5E30=9635.86


Overall, this tells us that 2500%281%2B0.046%29%5E30=9635.86
