would it be more propper to combine the exponent when writing it so that it is 3000e^.16

Continuous compounding interest on a principal P is usually expressed as A = P*e^r*t  where r is the interest rate in decimal and time is normally in years.  Since I don't know the original problem I'm guessing you had principal P = $3000 so I expect your answer is correct as is stands.
