Answer:

time = 28 years

Explanation:

Given,

principal amount = $10,000

rate = 4%

total amount = $30,000

According to compound interest formula


A\ =\ P(1+r)^t

where, A = total amount

P = principal amount

r = rate

t = time in years

so, from the question we can write,


30000\ =\ 10000(1+0.04)^t


=>\ (30000)/(10000)\ =\ (1+0.04)^t


=>\ 3\ =\ (1.04)^t

by taking log on both sides, we will get

=> log3 = t.log(1.04)


=>\ t\ =\ (log3)/(log1.04)

=> t = 28.01

So, the time taken to get the amount from 10000 to 30000 is 28 years.
