Using the formula V = P e r t V=Pe rt , where V is the value of the account in t years, P is the principal initially invested, e is the base of a natural logarithm, and r is the rate of interest, determine the amount of money, to the nearest cent, in the account after 6 years.

Answer:

$115.36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P=$103

r=1.9%

t= 6 years

The expression for the amount is given as

[tex]V = P e ^{r t}[/tex]

substitute

[tex]V = 103*e^{0.019 *6}[/tex]

[tex]V = 103*e^{0.114}\\\\V = 103*1.120\\\\V = 115.36\\\\[/tex]

Hence the final amount is $115.36
