investments increase exponentially by about 27% every 3 years. if you start with a $1000 investment, how much money would you have after 12 years? future amount = 1000(1 + 0.27)^4 future amount = $? round to the nearest whole number

Answer

# Explanation: ## Step1: Calculate the value inside the parentheses $1 + 0.27=1.27$ ## Step2: Calculate the exponentiation $1.27^{4}=1.27\times1.27\times1.27\times1.27 = 2.60140561$ ## Step3: Multiply by the initial investment $1000\times2.60140561 = 2601.40561$ ## Step4: Round to the nearest whole number Rounding $2601.40561$ gives $2601$ # Answer: $2601$
