We are given the principal P = $100, the interest rate r = 2% = 0.02, and the time t = 20 years.
Using the formula A = Pe^(rt), we can plug in the given values to calculate the amount accrued:
A = 100*e^(0.02*20)
A = 100*e^0.4
A ≈ 100 * 1.4918
A ≈ $149.18
To the nearest dollar, Manny's investment will be worth $149.
