Answer :

LUBLANAGO

Answer:

$184383.7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Principal, P=$85800

Rate of interest, r=8.5%=0.085

Time, t=9 years

We have to find the amount of money after 9 years

[tex]V=Pe^{rt}[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]V=85800e^{0.085\times 9}[/tex]

[tex]V=184383.7[/tex]

Hence, the amount of money after 9 years=$184383.7
