a bank pays compound interest of 6% per annum on its savings accounts julia invests $7500 for three years. calculate the total interest gained after 3 years.

 

FV= 7500(1+0.06)^3

 

Interest = 7500(1+0.06)^3 -7500

 

7500(1+0.06)^3-7500 = $1432.62      Calculated and added at the end of each year.

 

But of course banks usually calculate interest daily and add it monthly so the real amount would  be a bit higher than this.
