    Assuming that we are looking to calculate the amount of money to be invested now to achieve the stated outcome in 20 years:

    At = A0 * (1+r/100m)^mt

    For your question, At= 5000, A0=?? r = 7%, m = 1 (this is the number of times interest is paid per annum) and t = 20.

    Replace those values in to the equation above and you should get the answer, good luck!
