Question 734939: please help me.... I've tried and I keep failing
Tony and Barbara want to have $30,000 in 10 years to help pay for their daughter's college tuition. If they invest in a mutual fund account that earns 10.5% compounded annually, how much should they invest now to achieve their goal?

A=P(1+r)^t
30000=P(1.105)^10
30000=P(2.714)
30000/2.714=P
11053.80=P
