We can use the formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
where:
A = the future value of the investment
P = the principal amount (initial deposit)
r = annual interest rate (in decimal form)
n = number of times the interest is compounded per year
t = number of years
In this case, we have:
A = $15,528.23 (future value)
P = $100 (monthly deposit)
r = 5% = 0.05 (interest rate in decimal form)
n = 12 (compounded monthly)
t = 10 (years)
Plugging in these values, we can solve for A:
15,528.23 = 100(1 + 0.05/12)^(12*10)
Dividing both sides of the equation by 100:
155.2823 = (1 + 0.05/12)^(12*10)
Taking the 10th root of both sides:
(1 + 0.05/12) = (155.2823)^(1/(12*10))
Simplifying the right side:
(1 + 0.05/12) = (155.2823)^(1/120)
Let's calculate the right side:
(1 + 0.05/12) = 1.00373
Now we can express the original amount of $15,528.23 in the form of a×10^n:
a = 1.552823
n = 4
Thus, $15,528.23 can be expressed as 1.552823 × 10^4.
It takes 10 years for a $100 monthly bank deposit to amount to $15,528.23 when invested at 5% interest compounded monthly. Round to the nearest place value, then express the amount $15,528.23 in the form of a×10n
