~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+(r)/(n)\right)^(nt) \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$1200\\ r=rate\to 0.2\%\to (0.2)/(100)\dotfill &0.002\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{weekly, thus fifty two} \end{array}\dotfill &52\\ t=years\dotfill &10 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A = 1200\left(1+(0.002)/(52)\right)^(52\cdot 10)\implies A \approx 1224.24
