Jessica opened a bank account that earns 2 percentinterest compounded annually. Her initial deposit was$100, and she uses the expression $100(x)t to find the value of the account after t years.What is the value of x in the expression?



Answer :

Answer: The value of the x in the expression is 1.02

What will be future amount after t years compounded annually?

The compound interest formula is given by:

[tex]F=A(1+\frac{R}{100} )^t[/tex]

where,

F = Future amount

A = Present amount

R = rate of interest

t = number of years

It is given that,

A = 100

R = 2

t = t

Therefore,

[tex]F=100(1+\frac{R}{100} )^t[/tex]

[tex]F=100(1+\frac{2}{100} )^t[/tex]

[tex]F=100(\frac{102}{100} )^t[/tex]

[tex]F=100(1.02 )^t[/tex]

On Comparing with the expression given in question, it is found that, x = 1.02
