Solution - Compound interest (basic)

3288.13

3288.13

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 1, 982$ , $r = 3 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 17$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.015$ , $n t = 34$ , so the growth factor is $1.6589963727$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $1, 982$ × $1.6589963727$ = $3288.13$ .
