A) $28,540. 41 B) $23,838. 95

C) $21,787. 16 D) $26,083. 97



Answer :

Answer:

(C.) $21.787.16

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for continuous compound interest is A(t) = Pe^rt, where P is the principal, r is the rate, and t is the time.

Thus, we have:

[tex]A(t)=8858e^(0.05*18)\\A(t)=21787.16436=21787.16[/tex]
