Leslie Lara · Answer 1

F = final amount = unknown

P = 7000 is the principal (amount loaned)

i = 0.05 is the decimal form of 5% interest rate

t = 3 years go by

Plug those three values into the formula below and simplify

F = P * (1+i) ^t

F = 7000 * (1+0.05) ^3

F = 7000 * (1.05) ^3

F = 7000 * (1.157625)

F = 8103.375

F = 8103.38

Answer: Choice A) $8,103.38
