Let's assume

amount invested is P

Since, we are given

Nolan invested equation as


V_n=P(1.02)^x

Anias invested equation as


V_a=100(1.02)^(x-3)

now, we can set them equal


P(1.02)^x=100(1.02)^(x-3)

now, we can solve for P


P=(100(1.02)^(x-3))/((1.02)^x)

now, we can simplify it


P=100(1.02)^(x-3-x)


P=100(1.02)^(-3)


P=94.2322

So, she needed to invest $94.2322 to have the same amount of money that she has three years later........Answer
