5000(1 + a/100)^8 = 1842.85 + 5000

(1 + a/100)^8 = 1842.85/5000 + 1

1 + a/100 = (1842.85/5000 + 1)^⅛

a/100 = (1842.85/5000 + 1)^⅛ - 1

a = 100(1842.85/5000 + 1)^⅛ - 100

a = 4.000009 ≈ 4


(Actually if we used 4% exactly , the interest accumulated

= $5000(1 + 4/100)^8 - $5000
= $1,842.84525 ≈ $1842.85. and that is probably how this amount came about)




b)

4% per year
So per month it's 4% ÷ 12 = 0.333% or ⅓%(exact)


8 years = 8 x 12 months = 96 months

Total amount to pay after 8 years

= $5000 (1 + ⅓/100)^96

= $ 6,881.9756
= $6881.98 (rounded up to nearest cent)
