Assuming the inteest is annual, since it's simple that means we just have to analyze:

[tex] A=P(1+r)^t [/tex], where r is our interest rate as a decimal, t is time, p is our principal investment and A is our ending value. So, in the context of our problem this becomes:

[tex] A=6000(1.05)^5 [/tex], which when evaluated by our trusty calculator becomes:

7657.68938,

which is rounded to 7500 in the problem.
