Answer

$3374.65

Work Step by Step

We are given the formula $A=Pe^{rt}$ (where A is the amount accrued, P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate, and t is the amount of time in years). In this case, $P=2500$, $r=.1$, and $t=3$. We can plug these values into the formula to find A. $A=2500e^{.1\times3}=2500e^{.3}=2500\times1.3499=3374.65$ dollars
