Math Problem Statement

$$$$ 500\left\lbrack\frac{\left(1+0.00875\right)^{43}-1)}{0.00875}\right. $$$$ \rbrack $$$$ \rbrack

Solution

To solve the expression 500[(1+0.00875)4310.00875]500\left[\frac{\left(1+0.00875\right)^{43}-1}{0.00875}\right], we will follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the base: 1+0.00875=1.008751 + 0.00875 = 1.00875.

  2. Raise the base to the power of 43: (1.00875)43(1.00875)^{43}

  3. Subtract 1 from the result: (1.00875)431(1.00875)^{43} - 1

  4. Divide the result by 0.00875: (1.00875)4310.00875\frac{(1.00875)^{43} - 1}{0.00875}

  5. Multiply by 500: 500×[(1.00875)4310.00875]500 \times \left[\frac{(1.00875)^{43} - 1}{0.00875}\right]

Now, let's compute each step.

Step-by-Step Calculation:

  1. Base: 1.008751.00875
  2. Power: (1.00875)431.468085(1.00875)^{43} \approx 1.468085
  3. Subtract 1: 1.4680851=0.4680851.468085 - 1 = 0.468085
  4. Divide: 0.4680850.0087553.495429\frac{0.468085}{0.00875} \approx 53.495429
  5. Multiply by 500: 500×53.49542926747.7145500 \times 53.495429 \approx 26747.7145

So, the final result is approximately 26,747.71.
