Problema Solution

A person deposited $500 in a savings account that pays 5% annual interest that is compounded yearly. At the end of 10 years, how much money will be in the savings account?

Answer provided by our tutors

Principal = $500

Rate of Interest = 5% per annum

Time = 10 years

We Know,

Amount = Principal (1+r/100)^t

            = 500 (1+.05)^10

           = 500 (1.05)^10

           = 500 (1.62889)

           = 814.45

Therefore,

Amount in his savings account after 10 years will be $814.45
