Solve 2.500(1+0.065/1)^2

$$2.500 ( 1 + \frac { 0.065 } { 1 } ) ^ { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$2.8355625$$

Solution Steps

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$2.5\left(1+0.065\right)^{2}$$

Add 1 and 0.065 to get 1.065.

$$2.5\times 1.065^{2}$$

Calculate 1.065 to the power of 2 and get 1.134225.

$$2.5\times 1.134225$$

Multiply 2.5 and 1.134225 to get 2.8355625.

$$2.8355625$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 ^ {2} \cdot 71 ^ {2}}{2 ^ {7} \cdot 5 ^ {3}} = 2\frac{13369}{16000} = 2.8355625$$
