use the compound interest formula [tex]a = p(1 + r) {}^t \: [/tex]and the given information to solve for r. A = $2800P = $2200t = 7 r = ______% (round to the nearest hundredth)

Respuesta :

The compound interest formula is

[tex]A=P\cdot(1+r)^t[/tex]

In the exercise, we have:

A=2800

P=2200

t=7

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=P(1+r)^t \\ 2800=2200(1+r)^7 \\ \frac{2800}{2200}=(1+r)^7 \\ \frac{14}{11}=(1+r)^7 \\ \sqrt[7]{\frac{14}{11}}=\sqrt[7]{(1+r)^7} \\ \sqrt[7]{\frac{14}{11}}=1+r \\ 1.0351=1+r \\ r=1.0351-1 \\ r=0.0351 \\ r=0.04 \end{gathered}[/tex]
