Jose bought a $3,000 savings bond that earns 5 percent compounded interest per year. How much will his bond be worth after 3 years?
A. $3,150.00
B. $3,307.50
C. $3,348.88
D. $3,472.88
Solution
Given P=3,000=principal
R= Rate of Interest= 5%
T=Time period = 3 years
In compound interest, We have amount=A= P(1+(R/100))^T
=3000(1+(5/100))^3
=3000(21/20)^3
={3000(21*21*21)}/20*20*20
~$ 3,472.88
