Jimmy recently graduated from college and put the $15000 gift from his grandparents in an investment that increases by %14 each year. Write the equation that models this equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 15000

r = 14% = 14/100 = 0.14

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

Therefore, the equation that models this situation is

A = 15000(1 + 0.14/1)^1 × t

A = 15000(1.14)^t
