Answer:

$648.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Principal= $6,500

Rate= 2.5%

Time= 5 years

The compound interest formula is given as

A= P(1+r)^t

substitute

A= 6500(1+0.025)^5

A= 6500(1.025)^5

A=6500*1.131

A=$7351.5

After 5 years the money in the account will be $7351.5

Now to buy a car of  $8,000

The added amount will be  

=$8,000-$7351.5

=$648.5
