Answer:

2730$

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money left in the account after n years is given by the equation

[tex]p=p_0 (1+r)^n[/tex]

where

[tex]p_0[/tex] is the initial amount of money

r is the rate of interest

n is the number of years

In this problem, we have:

[tex]p_0=2600[/tex] is the initial amount of money

[tex]r=\frac{5}{100}[/tex] is the interest rate (5%)

n = 1 is the number of years

Therefore, the amount of money after 1 year is

[tex]p=(2600)(1+0.05)^1=2730[/tex]
