the third one




Hope this helps :D

Answer:

The correct option will be:   $30,248.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Continuous compound interest formula:   [tex]A= P*e^r^t[/tex] , where  [tex]P=[/tex] Initial amount, [tex]A=[/tex] Final amount, [tex]r=[/tex] rate of interest in decimal form and [tex]t=[/tex] time duration.

Here,  [tex]P= $8000, r= 19\%= 0.19[/tex] and [tex]t= 7[/tex]

So, plugging these values into the above formula....

[tex]A= 8000* e^(^0^.^1^9^)^(^7^)\\ \\ A= 8000*e^1^.^3^3\\ \\ A= 30248.3471...\approx 30248.35[/tex]

So, the amount due at the end of 7 years will be $30,248.35
