Answer:

The amount that will be available n 19 years in bank account will be $6,051.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  A man invested $2,000 in savings at 6%.

We have to find the amount that will be available in 19 years in bank account.

Using Formula for Compound interest,

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^n[/tex]

Where, A is amount

P is  principal value

r is rate of interest

t is time period.

Consider a man invested $2,000 in savings at 6% for 19 years.

Here, P = 2000

r = 6%

t = 19 years

[tex]A=2000(1+\frac{6}{100})^{19}[/tex]

On simplifying, we have,

[tex]A=6051.19[/tex]

Thus, the amount that will be available n 19 years in bank account will be $6,051.
