Answer:

$77554.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Principal=  $66800

Rate= 1%

Time= 15 years

The expression for the amount is

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

substitute

[tex]V = 66800e^{0.01*15}[/tex]

[tex]V = 66800e^{0.15}[/tex]

[tex]V = 66800*1.161\\\\V=77554.8[/tex]

Hence the amount is $77554.8

Answer:

V=77610.5274≈77610.53
