Josiah invests $360 into an account that accrues 3% interest annually. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, which equation represents the amount of money in Josiah’s account, y, after x years?

y = 360(1.3)x
y = 360(0.3)x
y = 360(0.03)x
y = 360(1.03)x

Respuesta :

Answer:

y = 360(1.03)x

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]F = P x (1 + i)^n[/tex]

F is the future worth, P is the present worth, I will be the interest rate, and n is the number of years. [tex]F = ($360)(1.03)^x[/tex]

The principal amount of the money = $360

Annual rate of interest = 3%

Thus, the amount after x years which is increased by 3%.

Since, this amount represented by y,

The required equation that represents the amount of money in Josiah’s  account, y, after x years is, [tex]= 360(1+\frac{3}{100} )^x\\ = 360(1+0.03 )^x\\ = 360(1.03 )^x[/tex]

This amount represented by y,

Therefore, the required equation that represents the amount of money in Josiah’s account, y, after x years is,

[tex]y = 360(1.03 )^x[/tex]
