solve for x
x(1.025)^16 = 15000
im not sure how to complete the problem becuase my answer was 9312.82, not sure if this is correct
I have no idea how you got that.
I am using the standard formula
Amount = principal(1 + i)^n
where i is the periodic interest rate, and n is the number of interest periods
the rate is 10% p.a., compounded quarterly , so i = .10/4 = .025
and the time is 4 years or 16 quarter years, hence n = 16
so
x(1.025)^16 = 15000
x(1.484505621) = 15000

x = 15000/1.484505621
= 10104.37
