It looks like you're given

Then by the additivity of definite integrals this is the same as

(presumably this is what the hint suggests to use)
Then by the fundamental theorem of calculus, we have

2nd month: (2000 - 35) 1.01 = 1984.65
3rd month: (1984.65 - 35) 1.01 = 1969.15
The answer is 24m^2 i just finished that test and that was the answer.<span />
