Answer:
2084
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with 1800 rupees:
Compounding for 3 years annually at a 5% rate means that we must multiply by a multiplier of 1.05, and do that for 3 years in a row.
Hence the formula is as follows:
Starting Amount * (Rate of interest as a decimal^Number of years) = Final Amount
1800 * (1.05) = 1890 (End of year one)
1890 *(1.05) = 1984.5 (End of year two)
1984.5 * (1.05) = 2083.725 (End of year three)
We can simplify this down and simply do 1800*(1.05^3) using the formula which gives us the final answer of 2083.725. Rounding this up we get 2084.
