Answer:

[tex]A=\$150(1.05)^{t}[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that    

The compound interest formula for this problem is equal to  

[tex]A=P(1+r)^{t}[/tex]  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest  in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods  in years

in this problem we have  

[tex]P=\$150\\ r=5\%=0.05[/tex]  

substitute in the formula above  

[tex]A=\$150(1+0.05)^{t}[/tex]  

[tex]A=\$150(1.05)^{t}[/tex]
