To solve this problem, we can use the formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
where:
A = the final amount
P = the principal amount
r = annual interest rate (as a decimal)
n = number of times interest is compounded per year
t = number of years
In this case, P = $100, r = 0.05, n = 12 (compounded monthly), and t = 10. We want to find the final amount A.
Plugging in the values into the formula, we have:
A = 100(1 + 0.05/12)^(12*10)
A ≈ 100(1.004167)^(120)
A ≈ 100(1.647009)
A ≈ 164.7009 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Now, we need to express this amount in the form a×10^n, where a is a single digit. To do this, we can move the decimal point 2 places to the left to make it a single digit:
a = 1.647009
n = 2 (because we moved the decimal 2 places)
Therefore, the amount $15,528.23 can be expressed as 1.65 × 10^4 when rounded to the nearest place value.
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×10^n
where a is single digit.

sorry you're incorrect.
I apologize for the error. Let's redo the calculation.
Using the formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
where:
A = the final amount ($15,528.23)
P = the initial deposit ($100)
r = the annual interest rate (5% or 0.05 as a decimal)
n = the number of times interest is compounded per year (12, for monthly compounding)
t = the number of years (10)
Plugging in the values into the formula, we have:
$15,528.23 = $100(1 + 0.05/12)^(12*10)
$15,528.23 = $100(1 + 0.004167)^(120)
To solve for (1 + 0.004167)^(120), we can divide both sides by $100:
155.2823 = (1 + 0.004167)^(120)
Now, let's express 155.2823 in the form a×10^n.
155.2823 ≈ 1.552823 × 10^2
(rounded to two decimal places, as specified in the problem)
Therefore, the amount $15,528.23 is approximately $1.552823 × 10^4 in the form of a×10^n.
Using the formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)

A = the final amount ($15,528.23)
P = the initial deposit ($100)
r = the annual interest rate (5% or 0.05 as a decimal)
n = the number of times interest is compounded per year (12, for monthly compounding)
t = the number of years (10)
Plugging in the values into the formula, we have:
$15,528.23 = $100(1 + 0.05/12)^(12*10)
$15,528.23 = $100(1 + 0.004167)^(120)
To solve for (1 + 0.004167)^(120), we can divide both sides by $100:
155.2823 = (1 + 0.004167)^(120)
Now, let's express 155.2823 in the form a×10^n.
155.2823 ≈ 1.552823 × 10^2
(rounded to two decimal places, as specified in the problem)
Therefore, the amount $15,528.23 is approximately $1.552823 × 10^4 in the form of a×10^n.
Remember it say a is single digit.
I apologize for forgetting the requirement that a must be a single digit.
To express the amount $15,528.23 in the form of a×10^n, where a is a single digit, we need to adjust the value by moving the decimal point.
Since $15,528.23 is already in the correct form as a decimal, we can simply move the decimal point to the left until we have a single digit to the left of the decimal point:
$15,528.23 ≈ $1.552823 × 10^4
Therefore, the amount $15,528.23 can be expressed in the form of a×10^n as $1.552823 × 10^4.

Thanks for trying.
You're welcome. I apologize for the confusion and any inconvenience caused. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
It's 2x10^4
Apologies for the previous incorrect responses.
To calculate the correct answer, let's use the formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
Given:
P = $100 (monthly bank deposit)
A = $15,528.23 (final amount after 10 years)
r = 5% or 0.05 (annual interest rate)
n = 12 (monthly compounding)
t = 10 years
Plugging in these values, we have:
15,528.23 = 100(1 + 0.05/12)^(12 * 10)
Simplifying the exponent:
15,528.23 = 100(1.004167)^(120)
Dividing both sides by 100:
155.2823 = (1.004167)^(120)
Now, let's express 155.2823 in the form of a×10^n while rounding to the nearest place value:
155.2823 ≈ 1.552823 × 10^2
Rounding to the nearest place value, the final amount is approximately $1.552823 × 10^2.
However, the question asks for the amount in the form of a×10^n, where a is a single digit. To meet this requirement, we need to adjust the decimal.
By moving the decimal point one place to the right, we get:
1.552823 × 10^3
Therefore, the correct answer, in the form of a×10^n, is $1.552823 × 10^4.
