Given:

Principal, P = 100.00

Interest Rate, i = 11% = 0.11

Number of years, n = 3

To find the amount she will be able to spend on the bike(after 3 years), use the formula below:


Amount=P(1+i)^n

Thus, we have:


\text{Amount = 100.00(1 + }0.11)^3
=100(1.11)^3
\begin{gathered} =\text{ }100(1.367631) \\ \\ =\text{ 136.76} \end{gathered}

therefore, the amount after 3 years is $136.76

ANSWER:

$136.76
