Solution

To solve this problem, we will use the formula for compound interest:

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

Where:

  • A is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.
  • P is the principal amount (the initial amount of money).
  • r is the annual interest rate (in decimal).
  • n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.
  • t is the time the money is invested for in years.

In this case:

  • P = $500.00
  • r = 7% = 0.07 (as a decimal)
  • n = 1 (since the interest is compounded annually)
  • t = 10 years

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

A = 500(1 + 0.07/1)^(1*10) A = 500(1 + 0.07)^10 A = 500(1.07)^10

Now, calculate the value inside the brackets first:

1.07^10 = 1.967151

Then multiply this by the principal amount:

A = 500 * 1.967151 = $983.58 (rounded to the nearest cent)

So, after 10 years, Jasmine will have $983.58 in her account.
