[tex]\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Continuously Compounding Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=Pe^{rt}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$800\\ r=rate\to 3.1\%\to \frac{3.1}{100}\dotfill &0.031\\ t=years\dotfill &20 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=800e^{0.031\cdot 20}\implies A=800e^{0.62} \\\\\\ A\approx 1487.14\implies A=\stackrel{rounded~up}{1500}[/tex]
