Answer

$5,229.70

Work Step by Step

The formula is:A=P(1+$\frac{r}{n}$$)^{nt}$ P=5000 which is the start amount R=0.015 which is the rate(1.5%) in decimal N=4 because it is the number of times compounded per year. T=3 which is the time. Substitute: A=5,000(1+$\frac{0.015}{4}$$)^{4(3)}$ A=5000(1.05) A=5229.70 There would be about $5229.70 after 3 years.
