The question says ...

Suzy invests £2300 in an account which has an interest rate of 3.4% p.a.

A) find the balance on this account after 3 years

If it is simple interest, then

Interest = principal x rate x time

Interest = 2300 x 3.4% x 3 = 234.60

And the balance would be

2300 + 234.60 = 2,534.60
