Sagot :

The amount in lee's mutual fund account after 8 years will be $7600

Given: Principal amount (P) = $5000,

Time (t) = 10 years,

Rate of interest (r) = 6.5% per year

To find: lee's mutual fund account after only 8 years

We know that Simple interest (SI) is given by:

[tex]S.I = \frac{PTR}{100}[/tex].......(1)

So, by using equation (1) money (P') in a mutual fund account after 8 years will be

[tex]P'=P+\frac{PTR}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=5000+\frac{5000*6.5*8}{100}[/tex]

[tex]= 5000+50*6.5*8[/tex]

= 5000+2600

= 7600
