solve for P in

P(1+.05/4)^(4*6) = 65000
still lost can you explain step by step?
Looks like you need to review your compound interest formula.

$P invested at at a rate of r, compounded n times per year for t years grows to

P(1+r/n)^(nt)

So, knowing that

(1+.05/4)^(4*6) = 1.347, you now just have to solve

1.347P = 65000
