Identify Formula: First, let's identify the formula to use for compound interest since the problem doesn't specify simple or compound interest, we'll assume compound interest which is more common.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 (decimal).n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.t is the time the money is invested for, in years.
Convert Interest Rate: Now, let's convert the annual interest rate from a percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100.7.25%=1007.25=0.0725
Assume Compounding Frequency: The problem doesn't specify how often the interest is compounded, so we'll assume it's compounded once a year n=1.
Plug Values into Formula: Now we'll plug the values into the formula.P=$4400r=0.0725n=1t=9.5A=4400(1+(0.0725/1))(1∗9.5)
Calculate Inside Parentheses: Let's do the calculation inside the parentheses first.1+(0.0725/1)=1+0.0725=1.0725
Calculate Exponent Part: Now we'll calculate the exponent part.(1.0725)(1×9.5)=(1.0725)9.5
Calculate Exponent: Now we'll calculate the exponent using a calculator.(1.0725)9.5≈1.954768
Multiply by Principal: Finally, we'll multiply this by the principal to find the total amount.A=4400×1.954768
Final Calculation: Now we'll do the multiplication.A≈4400×1.954768≈$(8600.98)
