Answer

$3,619.80

Work Step by Step

The formula is:A=P(1+$\frac{r}{n}$$)^{nt}$ P=3500 which is the start amount R=0.0675 which is the rate(1.5%) in decimal N=12 because it is the number of times compounded per year. T=0.5 which is the time. Substitute: A=3500(1+$\frac{0.0675}{12}$$)^{12(0.5)}$ A=3500(1.03) A=3,619.80 There would be about $3619.80
