I assume you are looking for the total. The total amount in the account will be $4,781.54 if the interest is compounded annually.
If she is earning 6% interest, the balance in her account will be multiplied by 1.06 each year.
You can evaluate the following expression to find the total.

You can evaluate the following expression to find the total.
We are given these three people age below:
- Jim's age
- Carla's age
- Tomy's age
We define the age of Jim as any variable, because the problem doesn't give any specific age. I will define Jim's age as x.
- Jim's age = x
Next, Carla is 5 years older than Jim. That means if Carla is 5 years older, her age would be x+5.
- Carla's age = x+5
Then Tomy is 6 years older than Carla. That means the age would be 6+(x+5).
- Tomy's age = 6+(x+5)
The sum of their three ages is 31 years old. That means we add all these ages and equal to 31.
Combine like terms and solve for x.
Then we substitute the value of x in ages to find these three people ages.
- Jim's age = x = 5
- Carla's age = x+5 = 5+5 = 10
- Tomy's age = 6+(x+5) = 6+(5+5) = 6+10 = 16.
Answer
- Jim's age = 5
- Carla's age = 10
- Tomy's age = 16
