If someone deposits $4650 in a bank that gives 3% interest compound annually, how much money will that person have after 8 years?

This has several routes you can take to solve it but I will give you the one I prefer.

The first year you will get 3% of the 4650......(4650/100)*3=139.50
The 2nd year is 3% of the new total ((4650+139.50)/100)*3=.....

If you continue to follow this process of adding the previous year plus interest you will get to the total of 8 years.

First you would take 4650 and then multiply it by (3/100). it would look like: 4650 * (3/100).Then you take the answer to that, which is $139.50, which is the annual interest, and multiply that by 8 because that's how many years it specified. that should bring you at $1116, and then add it to the original sum, since it asked you his total amount of money, which will give you your answer of 5766.

"Alternate routes" as the right idea.

S = P * (1 + i ) n

where S is the future value
P is the principle which is the initial value = $4650
i is the interest rate in the compounding period (written as a fracion) = 0.03
n is the number of compounding period = 8
