Nicolas has $6,500 to deposit into an account which earns 3.25% interest compounded annually. How interest will he have earned at the end of 8 years.

We have been given that Nicolas has $6,500 to deposit into an account which earns 3.25% interest compounded annually. We are asked to find amount of interest earned at the end on 8 years.

We will use compound interest formula to solve our given problem.

, where,

A = Final amount,

P = Principal amount,

r = Annual interest rate in decimal form,

n = Number of times interest is compounded per year,

t = Time in years.

Now we will subtract principal amount from final amount to find amount of interest as:

Therefore, Nicolas would have earned $1895.25 in interest at the end of 8 years.

i would say c is the best answer, hope it's right!

good luck! =)
