    The formula for interest compounded annually is A=P (1 + (r/n) ^nt.

    In this context: A=50,000 r=0.036 n=1, since it's compounded annually (Once per year) and t=10.

    Now plug in and solve for P.

    50,000=P (1 + (0.036/1) ^ (1 * 10)

    50,000 = 1.42 P (I just distributed).

    Divide both sides by 1.42 to get a final answer of $35,105.28.
