Answer:
The total amount after five years = $7,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Step(i):-
Given Esther deposited $5,000 into an account
Principal amount 'P' = 5000
Given rate of interest (R) = 8%
r = R / 100 = 0.08 per year
Step(ii):-
The total amount after 5 years
[tex]A = P( 1 + r t )[/tex]
[tex]A = 5000(1+ (0.08 X 5) = 7000[/tex]
Final answer:-
The total amount after five years = $7,000
