Answer

$ \$ 697.09$

Work Step by Step

Recall: $A = P \left(1+\dfrac{r}{n} \right)^{n t}$ where $P:$ The principal amount $r:$ Annual interest rate $n:$ Number of compoundings per year $t:$ Number of years $A:$ Amount after $t$ years The given problem has: $P= \$ 600, r=0.05, t = 3$ $\text{Compounded daily} \to n = 365$ Thus, using these values and the given formula above gives: $A = 600 \left(1+\dfrac{0.05}{365} \right)^{365 \times 3}$ $A \approx \$ 697.09$
