C. $3709 D. $3722

Respuesta :

Answer: C. $3709

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula to calculate amount(A) , which is given as :

A = p  [tex](1+r)^{n}[/tex] , where

A = amount

P = principal

r = rate

n = number of years

From the question,

A = ?

P = $3000

r = 3.6%

n = 6

substituting into the formula , we have

A = 3000[tex](1+0.036)^{6}[/tex]

A = 3000 [tex](1.036)^{6}[/tex]

A = 3000 (1.236398679)

A = 3709. 196038

To the nearest dollar

A = $3709
