Answer:

D. 689. 42

Explanation:

The equation to calculate the total including the initial principal plus interest is [tex]A=P(1+r/n)^{nt}[/tex], where the following is true:

A= Total (principal plus interest)

P= Principal ($500)

R= Rate (5.5% in decimals = 0.055)

n= Compound (Annually -- 1 year)

t= Time in years (6 years)

[tex]A=500(1+(0.055/1))^{1X6}[/tex]

[tex]A=500(1+0.055)^{6}[/tex]

[tex]A=500(1.055)^{6}[/tex]

[tex]A=500(1.37884)[/tex]

[tex]A=689.42[/tex]
