Harpreet—s parents deposited a lump sum of money into a savings account for him on his tenth birthday at an interest rate of 5% compounded semi-annually. Three years later, they opened a new account for him. They deposited $5000 to this new account and transferred over the balance from the original account. The new account paid interest at 4.95% compounded daily. How much money was originally invested if Harpreet had $15 000.67 in the account on the day he turned 19?

But here is a guess

  5000 (1 + .05/2)^6    is the amount in the first account at the end of three years    add this to 5000 to get the "new amount"

      then         "new amount" * (1 +.045/n)^(16n)        is the final amount        

                                                                     where 'n' is the amount of compounding periods per year in the second account
