A:
Answer:[tex]\$806.14[/tex] Step-by-step explanation:we know that The compound interest formula is equal to [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex] where A is the Final Investment Value P is the Principal amount of money to be invested r is the rate of interest in decimal
t is Number of Time Periods n is the number of times interest is compounded per year
Part 1)Find the interest rate r we have [tex]t=1\ years\\ P=\$575\\ r=?\\n=1\\A=\$615[/tex] substitute in the formula above and solve for r[tex]\$615=\$575(1+\frac{r}{1})^{1*1}[/tex] [tex]\$615=\$575(1+r)[/tex] [tex]r=(615/575)-1\\ \\ r=0.07[/tex]The interest rate is 7%Part 2) we have [tex]t=4\ years\\ P=\$615\\ r=0.07\\n=1\\A=?[/tex] substitute in the formula[tex]A=\$615(1+\frac{0.07}{1})^{1*4}[/tex] [tex]A=\$615(1.07)^{4}=\$806.14[/tex]
