In January, Dana Blakely decided to donate $2,500 to the Riverfront Humane Society. For income tax purposes, she will not make the donation until next December. If Dana can earn 12% compounded monthly, how much must she invest in January to have $2,500 in 11 months? (Use Tables 16-1A&B or 16-2A&B or a calculator.)​
