\begin{gathered} A=P(1+(r)/(n))^(nt) \\ A=600(1+(0.11)/(12))^(12\cdot3) \\ A=600(1+0.009)^(36) \\ A=600\cdot(1.39) \\ A=833.33 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{where n is 12 (montly), t is equal to 3 years. The rate 11\% is r=0.11 and Principal P=600.} \\ \text{Hence, after 3 years, Troy will have 833.33 dollars in his account.} \end{gathered}
