Asia Desai deposited $6,000 in a savings account that pays 5.5% interest compounded daily. How much interest did she earn in 21 days?
21 days = 21/365 years =
0.0575342466
years
n = compounding periods per year = 365
Total = Principal (1 + rate/n)^nyears
Total = $6,000 * (1+ (.055/365))^365*0.0575342466
Total = $6,000 (1+
0.0001506849
)^21
Total = $6,000 1.00316915570
Total =
$6,019.01
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
that was the total wrong answer my guy... the answer would go like this.
6000 x (1 + 5.5%/365)^21 = $6,019.02
So interest was $19.02 (ignoring rounding, taxes, and assuming the use of 365 day years).
