<PRE><B>Question 1195412</B>
A = P (1 + rt)
A	=	final amount
P	=	initial principal balance
r	=	annual interest rate
t	=	time (in years)

Given
A = ?
P = 17000
r = 4%
t = 41 years

Solution:
A = 17000(1 + (4%)(41))
A = 17000(1 + 1.64)
A = 17000(2.64)
A = 44,880

How much interest is earned over the 41 year period?
interest is earned over the 41 year period = 44,880 - 17000
-
interest is earned over the 41 year period = $27,880
-
How much is in the account at the end of the 41 year period?
the account at the end of the 41 year period = $44,880
