Question 660904
please help me figure this out. Greatly appreciated! 
an investment grows 5% per yr for 20 yrs. by what percent does it increase over the 20yr period?
-----
Let initial value be "x".
Each year the previous year's value is multiplied by 1.05
----
Value after 20 years: (1.05)^20 x = 2.6533x
---
% increase = 265.33%
