Zoey opened a savings account four years ago with a deposit of $935.15. The interest on the account cmopounds monthly. If Zoey's current account balance is $1,128.16, what is the interest rate on the account?

FV=PV(1+i)^n        Where FV =1128.16     n = interest periods (48 months)  i = interest PER PERIOD (one month)

and PV=935.15

 

1128.16 = 935.15(1+i)^48

(1128.16/935.15) = (1+i)^48    take the 48th root of both sides

1.0039167 = 1+i

.0039167 = i  = interest PER MONTH        Multiply by 12 to get annual i = 4.7% APR
