Answer: The initial amount in the account is $650.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for compound interest is:
Future value = P * (1 + i)^t
Where,
P = Initial amount
i is the interest rate
t is the time period
The equation in the question takes the same format which means that the $600 is the initial amount in the account. It will then be compounded by the interest rate in the brackets over the amount of years the cash will be in that savings account.
