formula:

A=P(1+r/100)^n

n=term period/compounding period= 5/(1)

thus, Total amount= x(1 + 8/100)^5

= x(1.08 )^5

@raunekk

Pls correct me if i am wrong

The formula is A=P(1+r/100t)^nt

where t depends on how the interest is compounded
for anuually t =1
for semi anuually t =2
for quarterly t =4
and so forth

also
A=P(1+r/100t)^nt not equal to A=P(1+r/100)^n
right?
