Sagot :

Given that, the principal=$285, time period=6 years and rate of interest =1.9%.

We need to find the amount in Jay's account after 6 years.

How to calculate the compound interest?

Compound interest, or 'interest on interest', is calculated using the compound interest formula. The formula for compound interest is  [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^{nt}[/tex], where P is the principal balance, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per time period and t is the number of time periods.

Now, [tex]A=285(1+\frac{1.9}{100} )^{6}=285(1.019)^{6}[/tex]

=285×1.1195=$357.20

Therefore, the amount in Jay's account after 6 years is $357.20.
