I'm assuming you want the interest earned. Please state all of the instructions.

Given info:

P = 9000
r = 0.055 (5 and 1/2% = 5.5% = 5.5/100 = 0.055)
t = 2 yrs, 9 months = 2 + 9/12 = 2 + 0.75 = 2.75 years

So we're plugging in P = 9000, r = 0.055, t = 2.75 into the formula below

I = P*r*t

I = 9000*0.055*2.75

I = 1,361.25

Therefore you earn $1,361.25 in interest only. This brings the total amount in the account to 9000+1,361.25 = $10,361.25
