Money deposited=$500

Money double after 3 years

So, after 3 years amount will be,


\begin{gathered} A=2*500 \\ =1000 \end{gathered}

for 15 years,


(15)/(3)=5

i.e. the amount will increse 5 times in 15 years.

The total amount after 15 years will be,


\begin{gathered} A=1000+1000+1000+1000+1000 \\ =5000 \end{gathered}
