You are given the formula; just plug in the numbers. Your calculator will give the same answer as mine.
Pay close attention to the exact wording.
>> 7.5%, or .075, is the annual interest rate; since interest is compounded monthly, the interest rate per period is .075/12 = .00625.
>> Since n is the number of compounding periods, n is the number of months in 3 years.
