Answer:

It will take 6 years to generate an amount of 1,925

Step-by-step explanation:


Amount - Principal = Interest

1,925 - 1,300 = 625 interest

Then we calcualte the interest


Principal * rae * time = Interest

We post our know values and sovle for time

1,300 x 0.08 x time = 625

625/(1,300x0.08) = time 6.0096 = 6 years
