    man ur stupid this is easy

    look if the 4.74 is anual interest

    then for the first year the person will gain $71.25

    given to a total of $1571.25 i got this by doing 4.75 times 1500 divided by 100 and the that answer for one year for the second year you would do 1571.25 x 4.75 / 100 equals 74.63 and then u add that to 1571.25 and u get idk what but u continue doing that until at the end u get 3281.25 after 25 years for the anually for the semiannualy u get 3637.5 for the quartely u get 8625 if its monthly

    then u get 22875

    1500*(1+4.75%/m)^(25*m)

    Where m = number of periods per year

    for annual m=1, for monthly m=12, etc.
