I don't know how to do these questions. Please help

  1. You want to have $100,000 when you retire in 15 years. If you can earn 4% interest compounded monthly, how much would you need to deposit now into the account to reach your retirement goal?
  2. You want to have $200,000 when you retire in 30 years. If you can earn 3% interest compounded weekly, how much would you need to deposit now into the account to reach your retirement goal?
  3. You want to have $300,000 when you retire in 20 years. If you can earn 9% interest compounded continuously, how much would you need to deposit now into the account to reach your retirement goal?
  4. You want to have $200,000 when you retire in 30 years. If you can earn 4% interest compounded continuously, how much would you need to deposit now into the account to reach your retirement goal?
