<PRE><B>Question 360654</B>
the formula a=p(1+r)2 gives the amount A dollar that P dollars will grow to in 2 years at interest rate R (when R is given as a decimal) using compound interest what interest rate will cause 3000 to grow to 3182.70 in two years?
----
3182.70 = 3000(1+r)^2
----
1.0609 = (1+r)^2
1+r = 1.03
r = 0.03 = 3%
