34. Compound Interest The formula A 5 P11 1 } n2 gives the amount of money A in
an account after t years if the annual interest rate is r (in decimal form), n is the
number of times interest is compounded per year, and P is the original principle.
What interest rate is required to earn $7 in two months if the principle is $500 and
the interest rate is compounded monthly? Round the answer to the nearest tenth of
a percentage.
