500 = P(1+0.06)^6
500 = P(1.4185)
P = 500/1.4185
p = 352.49 or 352.50 when you round it off was the initial amount she invested.

A = P (1 + r/n) (nt)
Where:
A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = the number of years the money is invested or borrowed for
