Her amount after the first year is A(1).

Her amount after the second year is A(2).

Her amount after the third year is A(3).

A(1) is the initial amount plus what she earns in interest during year 1.

A(2) is A(1) plus what she earns in interest during year 2.

A(3) is A(2) plus what she earns in interest during year 3.

So the interest that she earns in Year 3 is A(3) - A(2).
