Solution:

Given the amount invested as $11,000 at a rate of 3% compounded monthly for 6 years.

Thus, the compound interest function that model the situation is;


\begin{gathered} A=11000(1+(0.03)/(12))^(12(6)) \\ \\ A=11000(1.0025)^(72) \end{gathered}

Thus, the balance after 6 years is;


A=13166.43
