    Answer: $1755 will be in the account when you are 18 years old.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

    A = P (1+r/n) ^nt

    Where

    A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

    r represents the interest rate.

    n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

    P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

    From the information given,

    P = $500

    r = 7% = 7/100 = 0.07

    n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

    t = 18 years

    Therefore,

    A = 500 (1 + 0.07/12) ^12 * 18

    A = 500 (1 + 0.00583) ^216

    A = 500 (1.00583) ^216

    A = $1755
