Solution - Compound interest (basic)

7847.40

7847.40

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 1, 757$ , $r = 9 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 17$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.045$ , $n t = 34$ , so the growth factor is $4.4663615407$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $1, 757$ × $4.4663615407$ = $7847.40$ .
