How do you solve a compound amount?

To solve for a compound amount, you typically use the compound interest formula: ( A = P(1 + r/n)^{nt} ), where ( A ) is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest, ( P ) is the principal amount (the initial investment), ( r ) is the annual interest rate (decimal), ( n ) is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and ( t ) is the number of years the money is invested or borrowed. Plug in the values for ( P ), ( r ), ( n ), and ( t ) to calculate ( A ). This formula accounts for the effect of compounding over time, allowing you to see how your investment grows.
