how much must you deposit in an account that pays 6.25% interest compounded annually to have a balance of $700 after 2 years​

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\$620.07[/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

in this problem we have  

[tex]t=2\ years\\A=\$700\\ r=0.0625\\n=1[/tex]  

substitute in the formula above  and solve for P

[tex]700=P*(1+\frac{0.0625}{1})^{2}[/tex]  

[tex]700=P*(1.0625)^{2}[/tex]  

[tex]P=700/(1.0625)^{2}[/tex]  

[tex]P=\$620.07[/tex]
