Answer:

2492.36

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]A(t)=P(1+i)^t[/tex]

P is the initial amount invested

i is the rate of interest

t is the number of years

maria invested 2000 in an account that earns 4.5% interest, compounded annually.

Initial amount P is 2000

interest 'i' is 4.5% = [tex]\frac{4.5}{100}= 0.045[/tex]

t= 5 years

[tex]A(t)=P(1+i)^t[/tex]

Plug in all the values

[tex]A(5)=2000(1+0.045)^5=2492.36[/tex]
