You can put this solution on YOUR website! The Pearsons are planning to retire in 20 years and believe that they will need $200,000 in addition to income from their retirement plan. How much must they invest today at 7.5% compounded quartely to accomplish their goal? --------------------
 A = P(1+r/n)^(nt)
 200,000 = P(1+0.075/4)^(4*20)
 200000 = P*4.419872484...
 P = $45,250.17
 This is the Princi;al that must be invested.
