Examples
Find the interest earned on $4400 at 3.25% interest compounded
quarterly for 5 years.
Solution: Use the formula for compound interest with P = 4400,
r = 0.0325, m = 4, and t = 5.
The investment plus the interest is $5172.97. The interest
amounts to $5172.97 − $4400 = $772.97.

Example #2
Find the amount after 4 years if $800 is invested in an account
earning 3.15% compounded continuously.
Solution: In the formula for continuous compounding,
let P = 800, t = 4 and r = 0.0315 to get
or $907.43.
