Set up expression: Understand the problem and set up the expression.We need to calculate the value of 100,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of (1+0.06) raised to the power of 20. This is a present value calculation in finance, often used to determine the present value of a future sum of money.Expression: 100,000×(1+0.06)201
Simplify inside parentheses: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.Calculate the value inside the parentheses, which is 1+0.06.1+0.06=1.06Now the expression is 100,000×1.06201
Calculate denominator: Calculate the denominator, which is 1.06 raised to the power of 20. Using a calculator, we find that 1.0620≈3.207135472. Now the expression is 100,000×3.2071354721
Divide for multiplier: Divide 1 by the value obtained in Step 3.Divide 1 by 3.207135472 to get the multiplier for 100,000.1/3.207135472≈0.311804782
Multiply for final answer: Multiply 100,000 by the value obtained in Step 4.Multiply 100,000 by 0.311804782 to get the final answer.100,000×0.311804782≈31,180.4782
