I really need help
A person opens up a savings account that pays 4% interest compounded quarterly. The person makes deposits every three months, including the initial deposit of $200 each. How many years will it take for the account to reach $30,000?
For this question, I use the formula A=P(1+r/n)^nt
and I keep gettinng the answer 129, but its not one of my choices!
