Emma · Answer 1

The standard compound interest formula is

Future value after x years with an annual interest of i

=Present Value (1+i) ^x [which is an exponential function]

for given present value of $360. interest=0.03 (3%) and a total of x years, above equation reduces to

Future value after x years

=360 (1.03^x)
