1. **State the problem:** Bryn takes out a loan of 800 pounds with a compound interest rate of 28% per year. We need to find how much Bryn will owe after 14 years.
2. **Formula used:** The compound interest formula is
$$A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{100}\right)^t$$
where:
- $A$ is the amount owed after $t$ years,
- $P$ is the principal amount (initial loan),
- $r$ is the annual interest rate (in percent),
- $t$ is the time in years.
3. **Substitute the values:**
$$P = 800, \quad r = 28, \quad t = 14$$
So,
$$A = 800 \left(1 + \frac{28}{100}\right)^{14} = 800 \times (1.28)^{14}$$
4. **Calculate $(1.28)^{14}$:**
Using a calculator,
$$(1.28)^{14} \approx 39.646$$
5. **Calculate the final amount:**
$$A = 800 \times 39.646 = 31716.8$$
6. **Round to the nearest penny:**
The amount Bryn will owe after 14 years is approximately **31716.80 pounds**.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{31716.80}$$
