    Are you given the annual interest rate? If so, divide that by 4 and you have it. You have to take it to 6 decimal places if it's financial maths.

    This is the question: Ella wants 5000 in 3 years. She invests in an annuity that pays 7.2% per annum, compounded quarterly. How much does she need to deposit each quarter to achieve her target of 5000

    Haven't tried this type of question but have you used the compounding formula? Let me get back to you and I'll see if I can work it out correctly.
