~~~~~~ \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 &\$25000\\ r=rate\to 8\%\to (8)/(100)\dotfill &0.08\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{annually, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &10 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=25000\left(1+(0.08)/(1)\right)^(1\cdot 10)\implies A=25000(1.08)^(10)\implies A\approx 53973.12
