(b) determine how much money he had in the account at the end of the 3 years

a.) first year $371 second year $393.26 third year $416.90

b.)$416.90

Step-by-step explanation:

a(t)=p(1+(r/n))^nt

p=starting amount-350

r=rate-.06

n=the amount of times during the year the interest is paid-1

t=the time

350(1+(.06/1))^x

a.) first year $371 second year $393.26 third year $416.90

b.)350(1+(.06/1))^3

$416.90
