Answer :

Answer: 24100

Step-by-step explanation:

The money in the account after 8 years is $24068.631.

Given that, principal=$19000 and the rate of interest=3%.

What is the formula to find the compound interest?

The formula to find the compound interest is CI=A-P.

Where, A=Amount that is [tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{100} )^{n}[/tex], P=principal.

Now, [tex]A=19000(1+\frac{3}{100} )^{8}[/tex]

=19000[tex](1.03)^{8}[/tex]

=19000×1.26677008139

=$24068.6315464

=$24068.631

Therefore, the money in account is $24068.631.
