Answer:
$800
Step-by-step explanation:
A = P [tex](0.5)^{t}[/tex]
Because it's every 3 years, you need to find how many 3 years in the 17-year-period of time.
17/3 = 5.666...
P is initial amount:
A = $41, 000 [tex](0.5)^{5.666...}[/tex]
A = 41, 000 (0.01968...)
A = 807.13692...
A ≈ $800
Rounded to the nearest hundred dollars.
