Compund Interest

I am not to good with word math problems?
 
If you put $8,000 in a money market account that pays 6.0% a year compounded continuously, how much will you have in the account in 10 years?
 
Round your answer to two decimal places.
 
$ =  ?
 
Thank You ,,

e0.6 ≈ 1.8221
8000e0.6 ≈ 14,576.95
Recall that this is compounding continuously. Very large returns are possible.
