Part A Identify the values of p, r, and n in the expression P(1 " based on Emma's situation. Then substitute those
values into the formula to write a simplified exponential expression in terms of time.
Replace the variables a, b, and c to write the expression. (PICTURE INCLUDED!!)

P = 300

r = 0.15

n = 12

A(t) = 300(1.0125)^12t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total credit taken for book purchase = $300

Annual Interest rate = 15% compounded monthly

Time or period = 4 years

P(1 + r/n)^nt

P in the expression above means the principal amount which is the total credit spent on book purchase = $300

r = annual interest rate on Emma's account = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15

n = number of compounding times per period ; loan which compounds monthly = number of months in a year = 12

Hence,

P = $300 ; r = 0.15 ; n = 12

Substituting into the equation :

P(1 + r/n)^nt

Simplified expression written in terms of t:

Final amount, A after t years

A(t) = 300(1 + 0.15/12)^12t

A(t) = 300(1 + 0.0125)^12t

A(t) = 300(1.0125)^12t
