part B)
so, for the next 11 years, she didn't make any deposits on it and simple let it sit and collect interest, compounded annually at 5%.
part C)
well, for 12 years she deposited 1200 bucks, that means 12 * 1200, or 14,400.
now, here she is, 12+11, or 23 years later, and she's got 32,668.42 bucks?
all that came out of her pocket was 14,400, so 32,668.42 - 14,400, is how much she earned in interest.
