If invested

A=P(1+rt)A= P(1+rt)

where A = new balance

t= time

r= rate in decimals

P = Amount invested

A=5000(1+016)A= 5000 (1+01*6)

=5000(1.6)=5000(1.6)

=8000= 8000

£8000


In a Savings account

A=P(1+r/n)ntA=P(1+r/n)^n*^t

n= number of times its compounded

A=5000(1+0.1/1)16A=5000(1+0.1/1)^1*^6

A=5000(1.1)6A=5000(1.1)^6

=8857.805= 8857.805

£8858

The investor will have £858 more if he saves
