Question

Glen invested $18,000 at 5% interest compounded annually. How much interested will Glenn earn in 3years

Answer 1

Investment: $18000
Interest : 5%
Compounded Annually for 3 years

Year 1: $18000 times .05 = $900
Year 2: $18900 times .05 = $945
Year 3: $19845 times .05 = $992.25

At the end of 3 years you’d have $20837.25, and the interest you’d have earned over the 3 years would total $2837.25
