but I believe that you intended:
Leah invests $500 at interest of 12% per year compounded semi-annually.
The monthly rate of interest is 1% and so the amount accumulated at the end of T months is given by
A(T) = 500(1.01)T
Use your calculator to obtain the amounts A(T) for the various T values in the question.
