Expert Answer:
Let for the first year onthe principal amount P , rate r% , I be the interest
So , I = P*r*1/100 = pr/100 , Amount = p + I = p(1+r/100)
For the second year P = p(1+r/100) , r = r%
So , Again interest I = p(1+r/100)r/100 , Amount = pr/100 + I = p(1+r/100)(1+r/100) = p(1+r/100)^2
As we go on more n number of years we get
Amount = p(1+r/100)^n which is sum of the principal amount and all interest compounded during that period.
