interest, compounded monthly. How much interest will he earn after 3 years?
Round your answer to the nearest cent.

$24.35

Step-by-step explanation:

P = initial balance

r = interest rate (decimal)

n = number of times compounded annually

t = time

Lastly, subtract A from the principal to get the interest earned:

angle addition postulate

2x=56
