    Answer: $13,161.264

    Explanation:

    interest rate after first 3 months 9% for 3 months.

    I = P x R x T / 100

    Where;

    I = interest

    P = principal

    R = interest Rate

    = Time

    $6000 x 9% x 3 / 100

    = $ 1620

    Interest for next 3 months 12%

    P = $6000 + $1620 = $7620

    I = 7620 x 12% x 3 / 100 = $2,743.2

    Interest after for last 3 months 9%

    P = $7620 + $2743.2 = $10,363.2

    I = $10,363.2 x 9% x 3 / 100

    = $2798.064

    Principal after 9months

    = $13,161.264
