get more columns from group by

I have many queries similar to this where I am grouping account numbers and transaction ids by a max(date) or max(amount). For example, account_no = 101 with several transaction ids and a max(date). I end up with 2 columns in this query. BUT, I know that there was a transaction id and a payment amount for that line before it was selected, as it is obviously in the table. But I can't seem to figure out how to get it in a query. I have a script here that creates the scenario and shows a group by query and then another where are add the payment amount. But it groups by the larger subset. I just want the corresponding values that the 3 lines in the second query came from. At this point, I am just satisfied with payment amount, but would like a transaction id as well:
