No man !!
Actually you misunderstood the question.

R= 4.5 % per year
T=3 years
P= 681 - I <----- This is the tricky part here. The question says that he withdrew this amount after the interest was paid.

I = PRT/100
100I = (681 - I) x 4.5 x 3
100I = 13.5 x (681 - I)
100I = 9193.5 - 13.5I
113.5I = 9193.5
I = 9193.5/113.5 = $81

The questions asks for the amount he invested which is P
So P = 681 - I = 681 - 81 = $600

I understand other thingsbut how u got that 13.5I by multiplying it with (681-I) Mr.Physics

There is a topic in my book, covering Cartesian equations, equation of a circle and parametric equations of a circle. It's not in the syllabus, is it? Just wanted to confirm, cuz I can't see it anywhere in the syllabus and I thought I might skip it

I believe youre asking for Alevel topics? :p This is the IGCSE thread :p
Cartesian equations are included in vectors. You should just do whatever is in the syllabus, few changes might have been there for 2016 so yeah.
