Answer:

$198.94

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 1.9/100

r = 0.019 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

The formula is given as

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

P = Principal = 198

r = 1.9%

t = 3 months , convert to years

= 12 months = 1 year

3 months = x

x = 3/12 = 0.25

n = Compounded Monthly = 12 times

Hence,

A = 198.00(1 + 0.019/12)^(12)(0.25)

A = 198.00(1 + 0.001583333)^(3)

A = $198.94

The amount she owes after 3 months = $198.94
