Enrique’s parents want to save for his education. On his 12th birthday, they deposit $6,000 in a savings account that pays 5% simple annual interest. What will the balance be when he turns 18?

I = PRT

I = 6,000 * 0.05 * 6
I = 1,800

Add the interest to the principal to find the balance.

To find the balance when Enrique turns 18, we need to calculate the total amount including the initial deposit and the interest earned over the 6 years.

The formula for calculating simple interest is:

Interest = Principal * Rate * Time

In this case:
Principal = $6,000 (initial deposit)
Rate = 5% (annual interest rate)
Time = 6 years

So, the interest earned on the initial deposit over 6 years is:

Interest = $6,000 * 0.05 * 6 = $1,800

To find the balance when Enrique turns 18, we need to add the interest to the initial deposit:

Balance = Initial deposit + Interest
= $6,000 + $1,800
= $7,800

Therefore, when Enrique turns 18, the balance in his savings account will be $7,800.
