The way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

The simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

The value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

The amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.

You can do the calculations.
