25000(1+0.03/4)^32=????? Hope it helps :-)

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

D) $31,752.78

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for compound interest is:

`A=p(1+(r)/(n))^(n* t)`,

where A is the total amount, p is the principal invested, r is the interest rate as a decimal number, n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded, and t is the number of years.

The principal in this problem is 25,000; the interest rate is 3% = 3/100 = 0.03; the number of times the interest is compounded is 4; and the number of years is 8:
