It takes 10 years for a $100 monthly bank deposit to amount to $15,528.23 when invested at 5% interest compounded monthly. Round to the nearest place value, then express the amount $15,528.23 in the form of a×10^n.
where a
is single digit. (1 point)
$
The formula for compound interest is given by:
A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = the number of years the money is invested or borrowed for
In this case, we have:
P = $100 (monthly deposit)
r = 5% (decimal form is 0.05)
n = 12 (compounded monthly)
t = 10 years
Substituting these values into the formula, we have:
A = 100 (1 + 0.05/12)^(12*10)
≈ 100 (1.004167)^120
≈ $15528.23
Therefore, the amount is $15528.23.
Expressing this amount in the form of a×10^n, we can round to the nearest place value to get:
A ≈ $1.55 × 10^4

I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's recalculate the correct amount and express it in the desired form.
Using the formula for compound interest:
A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = the number of years the money is invested or borrowed for
In this case, we have:
P = $100 (monthly deposit)
r = 5% (decimal form is 0.05)
n = 12 (compounded monthly)
t = 10 years
Substituting these values into the formula, we have:
A = 100 (1 + 0.05/12)^(12*10)
≈ 100 (1.004167)^120
≈ $16386.73
Therefore, the amount is $16386.73.
Expressing this amount in the form of a×10^n, we can round to the nearest place value:
A ≈ $1.64 × 10^4
thats not right
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the correct amount and express it in the desired form.
Using the compound interest formula:
A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year

r = 5% (decimal form is 0.05)
n = 12 (compounded monthly)

Substituting these values into the formula, we have:
A = 100 (1 + 0.05/12)^(12*10)
≈ 100 (1.004167)^120
≈ $16470.09
Therefore, the amount is $16470.09.
To express this amount in the form of a×10^n, we need to determine the appropriate values of a and n.
The given condition specifies that "a" should be a single digit. So, to express $16470.09, we can rewrite it as:
$1.647009 × 10^4
Therefore, in the form of a×10^n, the amount is approximately $1.65 × 10^4.
