The amount compounded is given by the formula ;
[tex]A=P\lbrack1+\frac{r}{100n}\rbrack^{nt}[/tex]Here, P = $3500, r = 1.75%, n = 52 , t = 18 years.
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=3500\lbrack1+\frac{1.75}{100\times52}\rbrack^{52\times18} \\ A=4795.65 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the interest the account will earn is 4795.65-3500 = $1295.65, Option A
