Uta invests an amount into a compound interest investment account that pays 6% a year. After six years, she withdraws her total balance of $500. Using the formula A = P (1 + r) Superscript t, how much money did Uta initially invest?
$180.00
$320.00
$352.48
$471.70

$352.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the formula:

A = P (1 + r)^t

Where  

A: total balance after invest

P: principal amount invested

r = interest rate (in decimal form)

t = time (years)

Replacing with the values given:

500= P (1+0.06)^6

Solving for P:

500 = P (1.06)^6

500 / ( (1.06)^6)=P

500 / 1.4185 =P

$352.48= P

72 is the answer to this problem
