.
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
P = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit)
r = annual rate of interest (as a decimal)
t = number of years the amount is deposited or borrowed for.
A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.
n = number of times the interest is compounded per year
.
Plug in what was given and solve for t:
A = 600(1 + .055/4)^(4*(9/12))
A = 600(1 + .055/4)^(9/3))
A = 600(1 + .055/4)^3)
A = 600(1.01375^3)
A = $625.09
