your annual interest rate is 6.5% / 100 = .065
there are 12 months in the year.
your number of months is equal to 12 * 3 = 36
your monthly rate is .065 / 12 = .005416666.....
the formula is f = p * (1 + r) ^ n
f is the future value
p is the present valued
r is the interest rate per time period.
n is the number of time periods.
your time periods are in months.
replace f with 14000 and replace r with .005416666.... and replace n with 36 and your formula becomes:
14000 = p * (1.005416666....) ^ 36
divide both sides of this equation by (1.005416666....) ^ 36 to get:
14000 / ((1.005416666....) ^ 36) = p
solve for p to get:
p = 11525.74876

The compound interest formula is
:
Amount(A) = Principal(P) * (1 + rate(r)/number of times interest is compounded per year(n))^(n*time(t))
:
using variables
:
A = P * (1 + r/n)^nt
:
n = 12, t = 3, r = 0.065, A = 14000
:
14000 = P * (1 + 0.065/12)^36
:
P = 14000 / (1 + 0.065/12)^36 = 14000 / 1.2147 = 11525.48
