Work Step by Step

The compound interest formula is $$A = P (1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$$ Where A is the final amount, P is the initial balance, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times compounded per year, and t is the number of years that passes. Plug in the information given $$A = 1000(1+ (0.035/4))^{20}$$ Here, n is 4 because it is compounded quarterly. Put this into a calculator and round to the nearest hundredth. The value you should get is $1190.34$ dollars
