How did you make a guess for your sister?
Did she work it out, in which case there should be details of the work.
You won't be helping her if you gave her the right answer without telling her why or how.
Can she post her answer?
I'm helping my little sister in her math homework. I just got stuck in this problem. Can anyone please help us out. I'm guessing it's letter C. Am I correct?

Every month the principal is increased by (.11/12)principal
or
principal = original principal [1 +(.11/12)]^48 because 4 years is 48 months
so
principal after 48 months = 50,000[1.091666667]^48
=77479.90
and
77479.90-50000 = 27479.90
or
principal = original principal [1 +(.11/12)]^48 because 4 years is 48 months
so
principal after 48 months = 50,000[1.091666667]^48
=77479.90
and
77479.90-50000 = 27479.90
