This is a compund interest problem which means that the formula to use is
Final Amount = Initial investment (1+(rate/100)/amount of times it is compounded per year)^amount of times compounded per year*amount of years

A = P (1+R/N)^NT

this means that Joanne's final amount is $4488.92 or that she earned $188.92 in interest
