deposit on a car. how much money did haley have?

$2,830.09

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 5.8/100

r = 0.058 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 2,000.00(1 + 0.058/12)(12)(6)

A = 2,000.00(1 + 0.004833333)(72)

Summary:

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, with compound interest on a principal of $2,000.00 at a rate of 5.8% per year compounded 12 times per year over 6 years is $2,830.09.
