According to legend, in 1626 manhattan island was purchased for trinkets worth about $24. if the $24 had been invested at a rate of 6% interest per year, what would be its value in 2006? compare this with a total of $802.4 billion in assessed values for manhattan in 2006.

Its value in 2006 would be $99, 183, 639, 920

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the compounding interest formula for this one, which looks like this in its standard form:

Our P is the initial amount of $24, the r in decimal form is .06, and the time between 2006 and 1626 in years is 380.  Fitting this into our formula we get:

or

First raise the 1.06 to the power of 380 on your calculator and then multiply in 24.
