at the end of each year, the account is 8% larger (multiplied by 1.08)
the general formula is ...
amount = initial amount (1 + interest per compounding)^(compoundings)
A = 200 (1 + .08)^3
the general formula is ...
amount = initial amount (1 + interest per compounding)^(compoundings)
A = 200 (1 + .08)^3
