let her present investment be P
P(1.05)^18 = 50000
P = 50000/(1.05)^18 = 20776.03
for the 2nd part,
monthly rate = .06/12 = .005, but the exponent = 12x18 = 216
P = 50000/1.005^216 = 17025.53
P(1.05)^18 = 50000
P = 50000/(1.05)^18 = 20776.03
for the 2nd part,
monthly rate = .06/12 = .005, but the exponent = 12x18 = 216
