$115.93

The formula is A = P (1 + r/n)^ (nt)

So A= 100(1+[.03/1])^5

A= 100* (1.03)^5

A= 100 (1.15927)

A= $115.93 (rounded to nearest cent)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

A = amount of interest

P= principle

r = interest rate

n= number of times compounded a year

t= time in years
