Question 10 • LVA - Mathematical Modeling - Spring

Solve the problem. Round to the nearest cent.Tom deposited $2410 in a bank that pays 12% interest, compounded monthly. Find the amount he will have at the end of 3 years.

Answer
A
$3448.15
B
$9389.30
C
$2715.65
D
$3277.60

Explanation

Use the compound interest formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt). Here, A = 2410(1 + 0.12/12)^(12×3) = 2410(1.01)^36 ≈ $3,448.15, so Tom will have $3,448.15 at the end of 3 years.
