Sam deposited $9,000 in a certificate of deposit account that pays 3% annual interest compounded monthly. how much will the balance of the account be in 3 years?

In 3 years, you will have $9,846.46

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for annual compound interest, including principal sum, is:

A = P (1 + r/n)^(nt)

Where:

A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest

P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)

r = the annual interest rate (decimal)

n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year

t = the number of years the money is invested or borrowed for

Note that this formula gives you the future value of an investment or loan, which is compound interest plus the principal. Should you wish to calculate the compound interest only, you need this:

Total compounded interest = P (1 + r/n)^(nt) - P

so then what are you asking?
