Tony has $5,665 in an account that earns 6% interest compounded annually.
To the nearest cent, how much interest will he earn in 3 years?

Use B = p(1 + r)^t.
B = 5665(1.06)^3 = 5665(1.191016) ≈ 6747.10564.
Interest = B − p ≈ 6747.10564 − 5665 = 1082.10564 ≈ $1082.11.

He will earn $1,082.11 in interest (to the nearest cent).
