John looked at his bank account and noticed that he had $2,029.90 in his account. All that he could remember is that he created the account 7 years ago and that he had a 6% annual interest rate. How much money did John put into the account?

Respuesta :

We will have that for the previous year, he had in the account:

[tex]m_{y6}=2029.90-\frac{2029.90\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y6}=1908.106[/tex]

For the year previous to that one, he had:

[tex]m_{y5}=1908.106-\frac{1908.106\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y5}=1793.61964[/tex]

For the previous year to that, he had:

[tex]m_{y4}=1793.61964-\frac{1793.61964\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y4}=1686.002462[/tex]

For the year previous to that one, he had:

[tex]m_{y3}=1686.002462-\frac{1686.002462\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y3}=1584.842314[/tex]

For the second year that the money was in the account, there was:

[tex]m_{y2}=1584.842314-\frac{1584.842314\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y2}=1489.751775[/tex]

And the orinial ammount of money that was in the account was:

[tex]m_{y1}=1489.751775-\frac{1489.751775\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y1}=1400.366669[/tex]

From this, we know that Jhon had originally $1400.37 in the bank account.
