Answer:

$4,368

Step-by-step explanation:

This is  compound interest. and to calculate compound interest, which is (Amount - Principal) but we dont know the value for amount so we find the amount first by using the formula.

              A =  P ( 1 +   R ) ^n

                                100      

where p = principal    ($8,950)            

a =  amount       (?)

r =  interest rate    (6.85%)

n = time ( no of years)    (6)

A  =  8,950   ( 1   +   6.85 ) ^6

                             100                  A = 8,950 ( 1 + 0.0685) ^6

A = 8,950  ( 1.0685) ^6    

A = 8950 x 1.4881    A = 13,318

WE THEN FIND COMPUND INTEREST   C = A MOUNT - PRINCIPAL

13, 318 - 8950    = $4,368
